Re: Pulled outdrive tonight - Pics
yep, more than bellows time. certainly water intrusion.
looks to me like your in for it to me.
driveshaft bellows
gimble brg.
shift slide
ujoints
yoke and seal in the drive. better look at the brgs (some of which will be in your hands) while your dong the yoke and seal. i think the liquid your seeing is gear lub. leaked out the ft. of the drive from a rusty yoke, that ate up the seal. speaking of which, if there was water present, and gear lub leaks out via the yoke seal, water can also leak into the drive. so. hows your gear lub look? got any? milky? just food for thought..
while your there, ya might as well do the shift cable and bellows, water hose, the new double seal already talked about for the shift shaft.
your in for some fun it looks like to me..
don't reuse any of your rusty ujoints or the gimble brg. from the way i get it, if they've been subject to water, which yours has, these two items will fail. feel good or not..
i've done this deed once on my 1 drive. it is fun. read and re read your sevice manual and ask lots of questions here if ya don't understand..
