Disco 2 Ive bought the gasket kit BUT

HI all

i have a leak on my transfer box of my 2004 td5,I've bought this kit
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bearmach-...r-Box-Gasket-Kit-RTC3890-BR3292-/261547089828

my question is how hard is it to take the transfer box off and once off is it wise to just fix the leaking gasket or shall i change all the gaskets?

Do i need any special tools to do this job? is there any part of this job i need to be very careful with or should it be a straight forward ,unbolt,split parts of the box,change gaskets and seals then just rebolt up?

how much oil does the transfer box hold?

It's not hard to get off, more of a pain in the arse.

Cross member has to come off and the bolts invariably shear

Props need removing - the bolts can be a pain unless you have a prop tool.

D2 tbox doesn't use the paper gaskets (fitting them might change the bearing preloads), just needs RTV.

Post some photos up of the box and I might be able to see what needs sorting - most of the time it's just the o-rings on the intermediate shaft - still box off job to sort though.

to be honest I'm pleased about the paper gaskets lol i have some RTV so thats ok ,i bought the kit more than anything for the rubber seals as the one where the prop/hand-brake fits is also dripping

If it's leaking oil out of the rear output seal, make sure you have a good look at the flange, the seals can wear a groove into them and replacing the seal may not stop the leak...

Replacement flanges are pretty reasonably priced.
