This week parcel number two from UK arrived, as soon as Corona stop was released for order I pushed the “confirm” button. Swivel housing, bearings and oil seals, now it’s time to start rebuilding!

Time to clean some oil, I have heard that oil leak and LR is buddys...

In to the garage for taking the body apart:

A well deserved shower to see the status after a long time sleep:
