not much progress for me . work and family matters getting in the way
..........having trouble getting the old mechanical seal,carrier and oil seal out , the carrier put up a hell of a struggle as it has some sort of sealant/glue/gunge on it, got it out but ive marked the outer lip of the housing slightly , not in the seal area and wont affect performance of the new seal just looks a bit messy ,will tidy it up with the die grinder before re-assemble, just got the oil seal to remove and then i can start putting it back together
....times running out for this thread so got to get a move on
not today though , got a wheel bearing to replace on the cage,done the other side a while back and had to grind out the inner race so expecting the same with this one,an hours job will take me 3
......but at least its not raining and icy cold
