<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> ;-) </span></span><br>
Cheers<br>

<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>

<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>
