el_freddo Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM When you say “centre seal” do you mean on the sundial? The seal is fitted from behind the sundial, so once it’s removed you knock it out towards the direction of the diff (orientation when the sundial is fitted). When you fit the new seal sure you have the correct unit to put in as they are directional. Also have a new large O ring on hand to install too. When you remove the sundial from the gearbox, mark where it’s currently located across the dial and the gearbox case, count the number of turns until the dial is free from the threads, also a good idea to mark where this point is so you’re not potentially counting a turn that’s not engaged on the thread.

Durania Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Thanks Bennie, Yes, that's what I'm doing. I have the o-rings as well and was able to get them new from the dealer. All I had to go on was this diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted yesterday at 02:45 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:45 AM You’ll be right. Do one side at a time so you have a reference point for the removed sundial. If the dial becomes hard to turn about two notches past your original start mark, back it off so the marks line up. Can’t go wrong doing it this way!

bushytails Posted yesterday at 03:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:04 AM I need to split a transmission soon, and I'll be replacing all the seals while I'm at it... will need to figure out how to set the gears, not just mark the positions. yay.

Durania Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Changed the axle seal yesterday on the driver side. Now that I know how to do it, I could definitely do it again. I think having a shop press would making it easier in the future. I do have a Harbor Freight gift card burning a hole in my pocket. You can see the damage on the seal here. Fixed a flashing issue on the turn signals too. Someone stuck too small of a bulb in it. Took it for the longest drive it's had since I got it. Tried to give her some beans to get any junk ran through the carb. 806970020 Adding this for anyone else: CV axle seals/LHD Left/driver side is 806727180 Right/Passenger side is: 806727170 2 o-rings are 806970020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago I also changed my ball joints. Not sure why someone stuck this kind of bolt in the pinch area of the hub but luckily I had a spare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
