Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

sump is leaking - private guy overtightened and stripped the front and rear carriers.
gearbox pushrod seal and output shaft is leaking. Workshop machined instead of replacing. Luckily it seems as though the clutch hasn't been contaminated.
midas boots on cv's didn't last a year, wrecking the CVs

This time I'm fixing myself

I have removed and rebuilt the half shafts tonight
dropped the sump and decided that the rear carrier will be replaced and the front carrier will be tapped one size bigger.

to do list
CVs inners and outers with boots
drop tranny
replace pushrod and bush as well as output shaft seal
front and rear crank carriers and seal
(front tapped and rear replaced while tranny is out)

work has commenced

some pics and the first hole in the front carrier is sleeved.

My first ever sleeved thread. woop woop.

all 3 sleeved. I feel so proud.

Now I can reassemble the front end but I still need to pull the gearbox in the coming week to swap (luckily found a rear carrier with seal from goldwagen) the rear carrier and gearbox seals.

What generation is that jero

It is just a parking space holder for the jero and ferries extra fuel along. hehe

I got some work done last night.

Cleaned all the parts I removed
Got some fresh paint on the cambelt cover, valve cover and sump.
Replaced the cambelt and tensioner while I had access - It looked a bit oily
got the front carrier and seal on.
Torqued down the crankbolt. Manual says 90Nm + 90 degrees. I stopped at an extra 45 degrees, as I was torquing over 210Nm at that stage.
belts back on.

Now I need to drop the gearbox and do the rear seal on the crank with carrier and the gearbox seals.

pics below

pics are pretty self explanatory. This is where I got to last night. I bought a 9mm 12 point socket for the flywheel bolts but still need to go and get a 17mm 12point for the pressure plate bolts as the normal 6 side is not suitable for the FT bolts that hold it on.

reassembly has begun

all assembled.

No leaks and no funny noises.

woop woop!

Well done!
