Changed my leaking gearbox oil seal today - very pleasant in the warm sunshine. Surprised how different the replacement oil seal was from the original.
My top tip - when replacing any ball joints if you can afford them buy those with a torx or allen socket in the end of the taper - makes dismantling later much easier as you can stop the taper rotating whilst undoing the nut. Otherwise if the taper starts turning with the nut the only solution can be to cut through the taper stem.
