axle seal tool

[MudRunnerTD]

I had a piece of square timber and rounded it off with my linisher to the right size and it works a treat. Would not be that hard to do even with a hand plane if you had too. Good thing about the timber is that it is kinda soft to and will be a little gentle on your seal.

The axle seal on a Nissan can be a temperamental thing, damn it. just be gentle and be very careful not to load up the bottom of the seal when fitting the axle back in, especially the long side or you will be doing it again fairly soon.

Cheers guys.

tim. The shaft or solid bar need to be bigger than the outer axle housing. near enough is good enough but if you want precision you need 2 inch shaft turned down to 1 1/4 inch

For you guys who want one sorry guys I only have one more night shift left (and I acually have work to do) and I cant do it on day shift because management will ask questions as to why an electrician is in the machine shop milling and turning home jobs

Nice idea Ben-e-boy. I've been on my lathe lately as well, and made some ally tooling for all the front end seals etc .. But anyone near or around Townsville that wants this type of stuff, give me a bell. I'd be glad to help out
