Hello,
Fourtrak 2.8 1998
Could you let me know how difficult / easy it is to replace the oil seal where the propshaft joins the differential 
If anyone has a diagram it would be a great help.
Also - if I have a go myself - what is the actual seal called ( so I can order one 
)
Many thanks in advance
Mark
Sealed
Dead easy, remove the propshaft from the axle, suspend the end from the chassis with wire or string, removing the propshaft will reveal a nut in the centre of the axle input flange. Use a six point 30mm socket, remove the nut and pull off the input flange, this sits onto a splined shaft, remove the oil seal and replace with a new one, bearing or engineers suppliers are the cheapest source. Push the drive flange back on and refit the nut, and replace the propshaft.
Should take less than half an hour for a first timer, this includes a tea break.
Thanks
Many thanks for this - one last question is this part called TRANSFERBOX OUTPUT SEAL - they have these on the milners site
Thanks again

No. That's the one where
No. That's the one where the prop 'leaves' the gearbox / transfurbox assembly. The one you want will be called a diff input seal, or a diff nose cone seal or something of that nature.
