Mark Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi All I have a gearbox and transmission marked GPW, so I am assuming it is off a flat fender jeep (WW2 type) for some reason mounted in an M606A2/3, anyway just removed the rear prop to take the brake drum off, undone the big nut in the middle removed the drum and all my new oil run out from the transmission :shock: , is this normal and if it is what a silly design :? , the reason for my post is this, the brake shoes have a number 47662 stamped on them is this correct and what is the correct ones and where to get them please.

Richard Farrant Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 removed the drum and all my new oil run out from the transmission :shock: , is this normal and if it is what a silly design :? , Mark, The drum has the splined hub attached, this has the seal path for the seal. As the transfer box oil level is above the seal, it will run out. Best read the manual, it will no doubt say, "drain oil before removing brake drum" Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi Mark There are 4 bolts attaching the brake drum to a flange, you should have undone these then the seal would have been left in place. The seal is complete as you describe it and should go back OK if it wasn't leaking before,however since you have dismantled it you might as well fit anew one when you reassemble it to give you peace of mind. Hope this is of some help. Regards Degsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
