Tell Andy not to give up mine took 12 years and there's still little things to do :wow:

Dont know why they don't show the washer and nut, slip up in the drawing department maybe. I had this happen to mine. Why they come loose i don't know, Brake vibration .? I did get mine apart without removing the gear i got the split pin out but found it impossible to get back in so i used a self locking nut and plenty of lock tight. had to make a spanner to fit. Hope it stays where it is !!

Dave

Hello Mike

You will have to take the end case off. The fulcrum pin has a taper with a flat washer castle nut and split pin inside the end caseing. Bit of a fiddle to get at without pressing out the hub shaft and removing the gear. Hope this helps.

Dave.

Mike my handbook says both seals face inwards.

My rear axle worm shaft seal (36T 20) has decided to call it a day, does anybody have a modern part number please?

Dave

Hi everyone

I've just joined the forum, so I thought that I would tell you a bit about myself.......

I bought a pile of scrap 15 years ago from POUNDS scrapyard in Portsmouth and after 12 years restoration, it turned into a Scammell Explorer. You may have seen it on the front cover of WINDSCREEN (Autumn 2006), just after I had won BEST IN SHOW at the MVT National show at Kemble (June 2006).
