Going to take it apart later Any tips on putting it back together such as putting grease anywhere, applying handbrake before tightening things up, ensuring shoes are properly located etc Many thanks. |

If it's not giving you too much grief leave it, or get someone that doesn't have OCD or actually knows what he is doing and will not have to post prolifically on here to sort it. Please!

if no problems with it
quick clean out with brake cleaner grease pivot points and shoe touching points (careful not to get grease on fiction matieral and not too much ) and back together |

on the inner face where the prop bolts go through ?
check the inside of the drive flange where the nut is on the transfer box to see if that is dry ? |

I agree with BT .... On the verge of causing endless other unrelated problems and catastrophic failures!
Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

BT - thanks for the support
Think it looks worse in the photo than it actually is.......pretty sure the nut off T box is clean / dry. ut will have another look later. The bottom of the right shoe has been rubbing - for some reason it doesn't seem to retract as I would have expected when the adjuster is wound in? Will have a closer look / strip later? |

I just thought BT was joking but if DH agrees too.......
Are you both suggesting I should torch it? .....it might just be honey on the drum not oil - I have seen quite a few bees the last few weeks - when I get back i'll link it and let you know? After all having had a great job done on the chassis it would be a shame for it to go up in smoke.  |

on a more serious note
there is a felt seal behind the washer behind the nut that can weep oil over time and the oil gets on the shoes its a easy fix if your having the prop off I would do it any way |

M90 - will have a look when I get back later but fairly sure there's no oil issues but will check all the same.
Not sure what has caused that look of oil but it's dryish so not too concerned. Will update later. |
