[saxovtsnap]

Cheers guys so your saying push the seal in then pull it out I don't want it to fall in gear box tho
A d is this the correct item eBay item number 120560366524
Please let me know :)

[saxovtsnap]

Does the seal just pull off I mean sorry :(

[MrChris]

The seal is like an a large o ring that sits around the driveshaft.

The only way to put it back in properly is to remove the driveshaft, place the seal back tightly in the box and then insert the driveshaft again

[Gandi699]

it wont fall in the gearbox, by design it cant

[saxovtsnap]

Ok I understand ok well I'm going to get the part now so ill jack it up take wheel off driveshaft nut drop lower are pull driveshaft out then the ring that's leaking thats on gear box will pull off correct the re put new ring then every thing back IS THIS CORRECT JUST WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK THANKS

[Gandi699]

drain the box oil first if you are going to keep it or it'll run out

[saxovtsnap]

Just rang my Pug dealer he says the name of it is called a driveshaft gearbox seal so I'm waiting for phone call back apparantly the 106 pug is the same don't have a clue lol

[saxovtsnap]

Ok mate ill drain it first no problem lets hope it pops off the gear box easy the seal ?

[Gandi699]

lever it out with a screw driver, then tap the new one home with a big socket just taking a bit of care.
Pug 106 is the same as is the cit AX

[saxovtsnap]

Ok mate cool I'm still waiting for them to ring they said £11 plus that vat alite dear I think

[saxovtsnap]

Dunno if the pug one fits saxo Vtr will see when he rings :)

[Bean]

Don't forget to undo the intermediate bearing carrier for the drive shaft!

[saxovtsnap]

Where's that mate

[Bean]

Between the gearbox and the first cv joint iirc. You'll see it as its pretty Hard to miss

[tom_vts16v]

i have just bought a drivers side seal for £3.49 from local motorfactor £11 seems abit steep

[rich112]

Make sure the one you get is spring loaded as alot of places sell the rubberized one which perish alot quicker and still leak.

[saxovtsnap]

Cheers guys well I'm waiting for marshals to call me back I need the part to day as I won't drive it like that
I'll keep you updated :)
Spring loaded ?
I've just gave my reg mate and I'm waiting for them to call me back it will most prob be the same part :)

[saxovtsnap]

Tom where did you buy them from that's so cheap

[saxovtsnap]

Bean yes mate I know the drivers drive shaft had that bearing not like the passengers but thanks for the reply :)

[Gandi699]

Ax caged ones got the vote from me, paid 8 quid from eBay for one. Not fitted to my current box but will do when I need to change as have used them before

[saxovtsnap]

Bump drive shaft is out I can't get the o ring out with a screw driver it's tuff in hear box

[rich112]

Just force it, you don't need it anymore so no need to worry about damaging it.

[tom_vts16v]

Tom where did you buy them from that's so cheap

got it from a local motorfactor called eu linco get all my parts from there unless its something fairly big i need i.e clutch,water pump,cambelts ect then i go to gsf as they tend to be cheaper but take 48hrs to deliver eu linco is 2 mins away :y:

[saxovtsnap]

All done now think I may do it against as when I tap the new one in the o ring rubber got a little bit hanging out so I've got a little gear oil still leaking so ill buy a new one next week :(

[saxovtsnap]

Tom what's there number mate

[saxovtsnap]

Rich this one was from main dealer them selfs on the rear was a smaller ring that look like a spring

[tom_vts16v]
