Hi guys, I'm hoping you may be able to offer some insight into a few problems I ran into today when removing the rear prop from my series 3 88 to replace a UJ.
Since I bought the vehicle there has Been an oil leak from where the yoke of the prop shaft blots onto the transmission brake, however on removal of the prop there was a fair bit of oil which dribbled out (no gasket or seal between the two), and when removed it revealed that under where the yolk is bolted and when I assume there should be a castellated nut (is that the right name) is a large mess of welding.... I take it this is not normal, any ideas when the previous owner would have done this???!
Also, any ideas as to the part numbers of the washer and seal which are under the collar which connects the two ends of the props shaft and allows the splines to slide? As both were cracked and looking a bit worse for wear!
Cheers, any help appreciated!!!!
