Pat,
Afetr having just gone through a 64 TR4, I was able to just replace the
seal and flange.
If the seal leaks, it's a good idea to give the flange a thorough
once over to find out why the seal failed.
Several reason why a seal will fail. 1/ age. 2/worn pilot shaft
bearings, allowing shaft and flange to viberate. 3/Worn U=joints and/or
out of balance propeller shaft will alsoo cause the seal failure, but the
vibration should have been noticible long befor a seal failure.
Good luck,
Tony R.
