Subject: [Healeys] Steering Box Questions
=20
Two questions for the more experienced among us ...
=20
My BJ8 steering box is leaking. From the front cover and more =
significantly from the shaft.
=20
Firstly, is it possible to replace the shaft oil seal without removing =
the box ? - that is not going to happen at the moment.
Looks sort of feasible to me and possibly the most difficult issue would =
be extracting the old seal ?
=20
Secondly as often mentioned here is to refill the box with some Penrite =
or similar NGLI 00 liquid grease. Is there a sensible/practical tecnique =
to get it into the filler hole ?. Grease gun with plastic tube ? Sounds =
messy job to me.
=20
Comments/ideas appreciated.
