SM25T Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Easy to replace. Don't drift them too far into the housing ... or the drive shaft inner shoulder may clear the seal and leave a gap under certain conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted November 1, 2017 Area Representative Share Posted November 1, 2017 The drive shaft seals are 62 OD 43 ID 12 wide TC or R23https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p27107/43x62x12mm-Nitrile-Rubber-Rotary-Shaft-Oil-Seal-with-Garter-Spring-R23-/-TC/product_info.htmlorhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/43x62x12mm-Nitrile-Rubber-Rotary-Shaft-Oil-Seal-with-Garter-Spring-R23-TC/142124479956?hash=item21174775d4:g:4RcAAOSwLF1X4jn4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The output shaft seals are bog standard oil seals - they have three numbers on them which indicate inner diameter, outer dia and depth. Once you have the three numbers you can get from any supplier.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
