today I got my tired old bones under my disco 200 doosel to change the steering drop arm, so I done the steering box repair kit oil seals as well.
as the drag link was off I replaced the opposite track rod end.
well, the oil seals were a bit of a bugger, the steel based one would not come out,
I tried everything I knew, it moved but not out.
IDEA..went and got my Industrial hoover, which gave enough suction, it just lifted the oil seal out of the box..
the next one was picked out with little hooks made from 0.06 stainless steel welding wire.
to put back both oil seals one at a time, I used a piece of new exhaust tube that was a tight fit in steering box,
then circlip tapped home also with my Insertion tool !
quick look round while still on blocks sees not much else needed hopefully for ASAP mot as it out.
am buying a shultz gun to blast my welding (lots of it) I done couple of years ago,
but will use a wax based covering one and will do in the box sections where i can...
tomorrow will see my very near 65 year old bones having a bloody rest...
