<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Hi Tom<BR><BR>I went to my tool chest which has a
drawer set aside for home made tools, amongst these are a socket designed
by<BR>Michael Salter for removal of the brass drain plug on BJ8s as well as the
tools I used for the removal and<BR>replacement of the dust extruder and oil
seal for the steering box of a BJ8. I have attached two photos of<BR>the
items I used, the very small screw driver, the small punch and the third item
used to push the two replacement<BR>items into final position (a piece of mild
steel partially curved to match the shaft of the steering shaft<BR>(like Bob
Spidell, Michael, and Jean sometimes necessity is the mother of ones
ingenuity)<SPAN class=moz-smiley-s3><SPAN> ;-)

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>To add to Jean's suggestion, I have actually
replaced the dust extruder and oil seal by first removing the steering
arm,<BR>then using a small screw driver with its' blade bent as a hook to
remove them. Then carefully pushing their replacements into place<BR>with a
small punch of which the end was ground flat. I added Penrite
steering box oil; and also on Jean's suggestion<BR>obtained from him some
John Deere corn head grease.<BR><BR>Ed <BR><BR>On 14/06/2015 5:13 PM, Jean

<DIV dir=ltr>I will answer your question #2. You can replace the dust
excluder by removing the steering lever and it may be possible to replace
the oil seal with the box in the car, I have never done it that way,
likely a little more difficult. However, I would lave it in and instead I
would drain the oil and replace it with John Deere Corn Head Grease, it is
a light grease and that will take care of your leak. I did this on the
suggestion of Bob Yule at Autofarm about two years ago, best thing I did
to stop the leak.<BR><BR>Jean
