Title: Axle gaiters, again!
Post by: Buggybaggy on October 03, 2020, 11:21:37 AM
I replaced tge axle gaiters a while ago, but I'm not at all happy with the fit of the circular clips at each end. Icm going to remove them and use the previouly fitted jubilee style ones.
So, what's the chances of being able to do this without draining the box?
I'm guessing perfectly doable if I want my garage floor covered in box oil, otherwise don't try to cut corners.  Am I correct?

They will only leak a little, nothing an old baking tray or similar couldn't catch.

jack the side up you are changing so the oil goes away but it is impossible not to loose any oil.

Got to do the same on mine as one with the squash type clip is still leaking so while the engine is out perfect time to do it.
