Tmdep82mos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi all. I bought some second hand shafts. I tapped the shaft in gently. Baring in mind the car is jacked up really high 1 way to stop oil from comming out it some how pushed the other shaft back a little & started leaking. So I pushed it back in & it stoped is this normal. I checked that the shaft was exactly the same length etc Any help would be appreciated Many thanks mosley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tercel-R Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The circlip on the end of the shaft might not have properly engaged, so when you tipped it over it might have just slide loose. Did you replace the axle shaft seals in the gearbox? If they're old and you swap shafts then they don't always seal up again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tmdep82mos Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes there is 1 new fitted ok i will take the other 1 out & check thanks mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tercel-R Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Do you have the top fill plug open? Its a sealed box, so when you push one shaft in, it might have enough pressure to pop the other side out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tmdep82mos Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes mate it is a top fill that's what I was thinking bud lol. Now I pushed it back in to stop seeping do you think it will be ok or shall I take it out just to make sure. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
