Disconnect the propeller shaft from the extension and put a drip tray
under the extension. In most cases you can prise out the with a
screwdriver, taking care not to damage the bore.
Some Ford gearbox-extension oil seals are set deeply into the housing;
it is best to use a special removal tool to avoid scoring the bore. The
tool is a puller which is screwed into the seal, fitting over the
gearbox output shaft.
Vauxhall extension oil seals are part of a replaceable collar. Tap it off with a sharp drift or an old screwdriver.
Clean the bore and coat the new seal with multi-purpose grease. Tap the
new seal into position, using a socket or a tube large enough to rest
only against the outer part of the seal, and a soft-faced hammer.bearingoil seals for car and motorcycle.
To avoid damage to the seal, smear its lip and also the front of the
prop shaft with grease before inserting the shaft into the extension
housing and refitting it.
There are two main types of oil seals: static and dynamic. A static seal
fits between two non-moving parts, a dynamic seal between a stationary
part and a moving one. Most seals are made of synthetic rubber.
An example of a static seal is a simple ‘0’ ring. These seals can be
found in such places as the oil filter used on combined automatic
gearbox and engine units, on conventional gearbox
Dynamic seals are more complex in shape, with one or two lips, depending
on where they are situated. These are widely used in the transmission
system of both front and rear-wheel-drive cars, where oil must be sealed
in where a rotating shaft passes through a component. For example, at
the outer end of a half shaft and on the differential pinion.
Dynamic seals also contain a thin coiled spring, called a ‘garter spring’, which holds the sealing lip in contact with the revolving shaft.bearing oil seals for car and motorcycle.
