Started stripping the rack out of the van today. But found another just as worrying problem. The right inner cv boot was split but there was loads of gear oil coming out of it. Checked the box level and its like the old empty barn in Frasers dads army story.................theres nothing in it. Suspect the seal between the box and trumpet has gone , we'll see next week.

The bolts that hold the rack on are torx, reckon they had a BMC designer on lease loan when the did that bit. After moving my tools from the old workshop to my hobby shed I seem to have lost a couple a torx sockets, so I had to make one out of an old socket and an Aldi torx wrench. Hardly Snap On or Britool but better than Bahco.

Aye up Si. Looks like you’ve got the exact same problem as me. My gearbox oil was leaking from the seal that goes between the trumpet and gearbox. I had it fixed but it’s started again. Is this an easy job? Could I handle it do you think? I want to do it myself this time. Also, where did you get the new seal from bud?
Frenchy.

Hi Jez, simple enough job with the van on axle stands. Once the shafts out the hub and spline bolts undone its 4 bolts where the trumpet meets the box but needs a little tap to release the spring clip on the inner shaft that holds it in the diff. You also need to unplug the speedo pick up, I then unscrewed it off the trumpet totally to be safe.Last edited by S49; 27 September 2020, 07:47 PM.
