Hi all,
I have read through this subject quite a lot on the mini sites lately but here goes....
After discovering some pretty hefty oil leaks, most of it seems to be coming from the diff area. I am thinking that the gear lever linkage oil seal and also (unfortunately) the pot joint oil seals. Cheap parts to replace but quite a lot of faffing around will be needed which I will do myself.
I don't have the pot joint removal tool and I have heard it can be a bit of a pig to get these out using any old levers....I definitely don't want to damage the diff side covers and want to stay away from removing them if I can.
Does anyone have a spare tool or advice on how to make one? I was thinking to purchase a cheap large open ended spanner and grind it a little to put a taper on and then use that as a tappable wedge to pop the joints off.
I'm in the warwickshire area if anyone has one of the tools to lend
