Hello Mike,
Hope you're ok.
Thats a really nice couple of tips.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
No problem!
Hi Mike, I see you are rebuilding a Defender from Malawi. I live in Malawi and I am currently doing a 1995 disco 1 v8i. I see loads of good deals on defender restoration projects around the 1500-2000 quid mark. This place is a Land Rover enthusiasts heaven!
Hi Mike, been missing in action on the email front - just very busy with work atm. Anyhoo, my gutter level mind was in full swing with innuendos with the mention of shafts, tool, lubrication and 'poke it inside here'. I'll grow up one of these days. Interesting stuff though, haven't even gone near my steering box as yet but good to know all the same. Have a good weekend.
You will do the box one day - we all do!
Thank you 4 the video mike! I just rebuild mine and have the this same issue at the upper seal, i will buy some 18,5x32x6,5 seal to fix !
Thank you very much
Good luck!
@@BritannicaRestorations thanks for your video because I have the same problem. What is the good dimension for the seal? 18x32x7? 18x32x6?
thanks you
Thank you for another video. Helps a lot. Greetings from Czechia :-)
Glad it was helpful!
@@BritannicaRestorationsI was doing it from below the car and I have maybe one tip to share. I have placed 5 tiny magnets on the washer and I touched them each by one with screwdriver and the washer came out. I had to make my own tool to take that lever from the shaft...
Thank you for another great training video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Mike, greetings from South Africa. I rebuilt a box years ago, left it untouched for va year and installed it then. Bad leakage/pissing of fluid. Next day leaking, but less. Day after no leakage. This box is still fine with me after years. Don't give up too early. Greetings from Wilfried
They usually leak just by looking at them...
Nice one m8 yet again the mother of invention great tips stored away till I need them
Gibby in OZ
Glad you enjoyed it
Some helpful tips Mike thanks donny
No problem 👍
I managed to pull the input shaft seal while the box was mounted into the car. was a pain in the arse
Another great video Mike. I HAVE to get in to my leaking steering box. You’ve shown me the way.
Oh, By the Way. Do I really NEED to buy a specialized puller to get it off?
You should
I had an Adwest 4 bolt steering box which I tried to replace the output shaft seal insitu, outside, underneath the 110 on the gravel drive in middle of winter, no fun, with lots of leaks, much easier when on the bench as you have shown us here and in previous videos.. Apparently, it can be done insitu, would be better prepared next time but really don't think I'll try that again.
Yeap - only 7 more bolts and it is out!
Nice mic Mike 🙂
Thanks! 😁
Hello Mike, I bought same kit for prufinf thé botom of steering box, and one told me that the blue seal is not suitable, it is a seal for a cylinder, no lips with spring. What do you think about that ?
The blue seal is a high pressure seal not needing a spring - there are sealing edges on the inside for the shaft and on the outside to seal against the walls - the high pressure (1000 psi +) splays the seal outwards
@@BritannicaRestorations ok, so I ll mount it, ty
@@BritannicaRestorations I ll try to do thé job "in situ", on thé car...
does this plastic "thing" have the same tight fit as your brake caliber tool? So the seal never discover it went out of the box , so to speak.
Hallo Mike do you remember Axel with the Discovery TD5 Alternatorproblem?
Yes - is it fixed?
@@BritannicaRestorations No becaus at the moment its to cold to work on it outside. And I am not sure if there is a connection between Alternator and ECU?
@@BritannicaRestorations Do you have a correct Info about it?
There is no connection between the Alternator and the ecu
Send me your email address and I will send you the wiring diagram britrest@britrest.com
@@BritannicaRestorations there are two contacts on the Backside of the Alternator one is the warninglight for Dashboard ( this I find out)and what is the second for??
