Hi again guys. Ive been getting some great info from the forums for my new project. Its a 1996 GQ 4.2 DX model, its gonna be my traveling rig. Picked it up for a bargain (will see how much of a bargain when its on the road) now need to do a few repairs before i go for rwc.
I have two concerns one im confident in sorting (water in fuel issue) but my major one im a bit stumped on is exactly what i should be doing about the source of greasy gunk build up on the LHS swivel joint.
Its not wet but looks like it has been leaking in the past. What seal/seals and what sort of process is involved in fixing it. I am planning on putting new oil in my diffs in the next week or so. If by fixing the source of the gunk is it also required at the time to put new oil in the diffs, if so i the timing would be good? I plan on doing the work myself, i have basic tools are there any other special tools required?
Your advise or direction to a relevant post would be great.
Im keeping a running tally of costs for the GQ project and ill post it up as it makes some progress.
Thanks,
Carl
