| Only a Little-Oil-Seal ! |

Well if it was easy it wouldn't be a challenge Steve :ddb: This afternoon I started dismantling the trumpet starting with the dif lock actuator then the brake assembly and actuator |
| awemawson:
Then I took out the brake outer housing which allowed the intermediate shaft and planet gears to come out |
| awemawson:
So now I could unscrew the bolt that retains the half shaft - well I could if I could stop the half shaft turning :bang: I resorted to desperate measures and tangled the wheel studs in the handle of the trolley - it worked eventually |
| awemawson:
So all that now retained the half shaft in the housing was the oil seal that this effort was all about, but it wasn't giving in easily. I eventually had to carefully cut through the seal housing with a cold chisel and saw and bully it into submission. This allowed the shaft to come out. Fortunately the bearings are in good condition as is the seal face on the shaft. |
| awemawson:
So all that remains to be removed is the outer bearing inner race - need to make an extended puller but that's a job for tomorrow |
