Hello,
Not really sure whats happened here...basically the long shaft is sitting out of the box a bit, its meched with the diff and drives fine, but is leaking 'box oil.
Now when I refitted the shaft, the bearing wouldn't go fully in, the nuts got really tight while it was still about 5mm out, so I left it.
I can't work out why it wouldn't go all the way in?
And will it be alright to leave as it is? You can drive fine with the oil below the shaft level anyway lol.
Managed a complete engine change and this is the part I f*ck up!
Cheers
Tom
