Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Well Bill. You are now on my shoulder! Gearbox is out and the internals look in very good order with no broken teeth or play apparent and no cracks in the casing. So I do not propose to take it all to pieces this time and will simply replace the oil seals. However, I have discovered a cracked silentbloc housing, which is now in two pieces, on the rear bearing housing. I propose to attempt a repair and have also asked LMB for the price of a new casting. Tin hat on! My question is whether I can remove the rear housing, without dismantling the internals. I do have the latest book but David is not too specific on partial repairs. It would be too much to ask that it might, having removed the speedo gubbins, just pull off with the bearing in situ. Any advice or comments gratefully received.
