Hi
I want to replace the oil seal on the rear output shaft of the transfer box on my 86" series 1. Looking at it there apperars to be a number of shims between the speedometer housing and the transfer box itself. The manual says for the end float on the shaft.
What I want to know is if I bugger about with this bit and take it off the transfer box to remove the old seal when I replace it will it leak oil through the shims. I can't see how five shims, no gasket and just tight bolts can make a good seal. Has anyone got any words of advice about this job, is there a way to ensure oil doesn't leak through the shims, call me cynical but I just know it will!
Cheers
Tony
