It's my front shaft leaking at transfer box. Shaft is in good condition, are the seals going to box hard to change/expensive?

BIG hammer and 2 chrome moly sockets and a good grip.

Dead easy. No, not expensive. Automatic is a bit more of a pain but you're safe there. 4 bolts and the whole handbrake detaches and can be hung to the side. Roll of tape or similar to tippety-tap the new seal into place. Measure how far in the old one is before removing. Cannot remember how far, 3/16"?

WD40 is not a release agent, you need PlusGas or similar.

I try to spray things down regularly a few days prior to an attempt. Makes it so much easier. Wd40 is better than nothing but not great for the tuff stuff

You need to use something with penetrating capability. I use PlusGas as well but there are plenty of others. WD40 will lubricate moving parts and give a degree of temporary rust protection (ACF50 is far better BTW), but it is not a penetrating oil.

I found the way to get the circlips to move was a squirt of penetrating lube and tap the circlips round with a hammer and old screwdriver to free them up, then the circlip tool got them straight out

Acetone and ATF in a sealed oil can will beat any store bought penetrant..
G Glamp and some sockets, will see to them..

Pointed tip of an old chainsaw file (end that goes into the handle) is good for tapping them about

Bed time...
Hi all, after a weekend of finger nail loosing and throwing some tools managed to change the prop joints, however getting the shaft back on was difficult where the grease nipple was trying to get the nut past this was painful. thanks for all your help.
