    Selector Shaft and Drive Shaft Seals

    Afternoon Chaps, These easy to do? and do I need to remove the gearbox. I got a horrendous leak from the bottom and I can only image the inner CV boots, those 3 seals and the gearbox plug washer being the source of the leaks. So if I can do those 3 seals with the gearbox in situ that would...
