Almost a year to the day since having my gearbox stripped and repaired due to the spider gear spline failure I have noticed a leak at the driveshaft seal for the drivers (longer) driveshaft. I will speak to the company that repaired the gearbox on Tuesday and hopefully they will sort it.
However if not, can this seal be replaced with the box in situ? I assume when pulling the driveshaft the nose of the spider shaft will still poke out but after that is it a case of pulling the seal in a similar manner to a crank seal and then replacing? Then topping up the oil as required?
I have identified what I believe is the correct seal and may attempt this myself if it can be done without removing the gearbox.
Thanks.
