Colin Lindsay Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Watch the back plate / flange... I had to use so much force to get one of these off a month ago - the other was simple - that on refitting, it looked like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bearing seam ok, apart from the two I destroyed getting off. Seals stiff and was leaking out of the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 take out the freezer and heat the remains of the ring . cold shaft and hot ring should allow it to shift, a ring always expands more than a shaft ( no smut ha ) pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm a bit miffed as my renovated diff is leaking from the front pinion seal; I've just refitted it to the Herald and refilled it, so I'm hoping it's just excess oil from over-enthusiastic filling draining out until it finds the correct level. It's NOT getting another seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so, it was all stripped and cleaned before repainting and the seal seemed to seat well enough. I cleaned up the pool on the floor plus the front face and it may - hopefully - have stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest bearing (triumph) refused a 40 tonne press and only gave up to the press and a gas axe. Guess which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
