GQ transfer case rear output seal leak

[XT43]

Hi,

I've just notice a leak coming from the rear of the transfer case, mostly covering the handbrake drum.

Unfortunately for me my mate who looks after my car mechanically is out of contact for a few weeks and obviously this time of year I want to take the family away over Xmas so I'm keen to get it fixed.

Before I get reamed by the local mechanic, how big of a job is replacing the seal?

Is it box out or just a matter of removing the rear shaft?

The seal itself is not a big cost from patrolapart etc so no biggie there.

Thanks in advance.

Couldn't tell you unfortunately, hopefully one of our learned friends might be able to offer some insight

Hey guys, I did a bit of digging around the interwebz and although I didn't get a definitive answer I sort of got the impression it was a few hours in labour for a fix.
wa 489, I've got the manual downloaded and it has helped me out before and I did have a look but between space and tools I'm sort of pushing poo up hill with this job I reckon, I think I spied your shed in that rustyboner guys thead, jealous!!
Anyway, I went to a couple of local guys not far away in myaree, one didn't want to touch it and the other guy was thinking a few hours labour, worst case there might be some scoring but no biggie to fix, and if I supplied the seal it'd be circa $250 so for ease I think I'll head down that path.
Happy to be steered away though if any other input!
Cheers.

Ok, for future reference, dropped the car off at 1:30 today, picked it up at 4pm.

Cost me $255 including a refill of oil as the stuff in there was showing water contamination. ( something I don't have to worry about for a while now )

May as well give these guys a plug for the Perthites, they are a family run / owned business and they even chucked in a 2014 calendar with a fancy car each month, although I would have preferred boobs.

Always good to find a mechanic who won't rip you off :)
