VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 U-Joint seal

Hi.
On my 1930 coach the U-joint seal is leaking out the gearbox oil. I see in Filling Station catalogue it is an O-ring.
I guess to change it the ball joint has to be disassebled?
The seal seems to sit in the flange?
Any ideas on how to change it?

1930 coach, Two 1919 490 Touring.

so it is leaking out of where ?? do you have too much fluid in the transmission ??

the o-ring goes on the torque tube housing ? not many seals in the transmission originally

here is a posting about replacing that: which requires some work and was originally cork !! Replacing the cork in the ball housing on a 29

if it is leaking bad out hte back of the transmission then may want to look at bearing and such 1929 Transmission Check/Rebuild this is when i rebuilt my transmission completely so you can see how it comes apart and goes back toether.
