<div dir="ltr">I have just replaced the seal at the same time as I had to replace the steering arm due to a 'shunt'. I did it with the box in the car. The trickiest part was getting a 'puller' that could fit in the limited space available. Once the arm is off, the rest is easy. I always use pen rite steering box lube nowadays.<div><br></div><div style>Derek</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 2:55 AM, Roger Grace <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:roggrace@telus.net" target="_blank">roggrace@telus.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>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><span> ;-)

<div>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
