    Leak in the boat.

    This is the 1995 Cobra SX (Volvo SX), over the winter I changed gimble bearing, exhaust and u-joint bellows.

    Gimbal Seal issue...

    So when I went to remove the drive, I looked inside the hole and noticed that the metal spring around the gimbal seal fell off. Is it a huge deal, do I need to be worried about it? I can't put it back on, as the gimbal bearing is in the way, I just had enough space to reach and remove it. My...

    Cobra SX drive, too much play?

    Stripped the filler thread, best fix?

    So I pulled out the filler plug to check the fluid level and it came out ok. I put it back and slightly (barely) tightened it and all the threads came out. Now I wonder how to fix it so the seal is tight and it does not leak water. I'd prefer to do it without taking the leg apart. Can I put a...

    So got my 1995 OCM 502APHUE back together and was testing it over the weekend.

For the price GLM seems to be...
