Oil Leak from inside Handbrake Drum - Transfer box seal ?

<< < (2/2)

Wanderer:
Chock the wheel and then take the handbrake off. Somone sitting in the vehicle applying the footbrake helps.
Then try to see if there's any movement. It might be the bearing that has gone causing the seal to fail.
Mine only leaked (on the front) when I was towing the caravan (at first) and then started to leak while driving normally. A new seal didn't even last a fortnight.
Nipping it up might help. There's a taper bearing on the front shaft but I can't see one on the rear shaft.

Ignore that. It won't pull the taper bearing up at all  :oops:

Too complicated these transfer boxes.
