Hi Mark,
That was the easy bit.
As you can see, the transaxle had lots of oil and grime on the outside at both ends of the axle tubes so the work I did yesterday was simply to clean as much as possible in preparation for the main task.
I need to remove the wheel bearings to let me take off the axle tubes and replace the seals/spacer gaskets at each end.
It's a bit of a worry that it's been leaking oil for some time, but I don't recall any gearbox problems when she was on the road. Before I remove the tubes I'm going to drain the oil from the box so that I can see how much is still in there and what condition it's in .... ?!? Here's hoping!
