WAYNEJAMIN LIGHTLY push from the INSIDE to remove those seals. there is a slot once you take that cone off for you to slide a long screwdriver in and tap out the bad seal... and yes when you tap out the old seal you CANNOT reuse it as you will mangle it

[cantab27]

i know ive done them before .... my bad .....

[cantab27]

do you think i could weld that piece in ??????? or just get some gum (redneck styles )

pratley steel quickset epoxy ..... gonna try it ......

[XJ4IV]

guess that's like jb weld that would work but you gotta seriously clean that housing.... put it in the dishwasher lol then fix it

[cantab27]

cleaned it ,done , waiting for it to set , half hour to go .....

[cantab27]

the bit that chipped off still sits nice and snug , cant force it in wards ,so glued it up ,let it firm a bit then put new seal in and let it bond like this ...

[cantab27]

Lmao, Wayne you'll fit in JUST fine here in texas

[4.3LXJ]

Wayne, It might be time to get that SYE, just in case.

[cantab27]

yep that's what we call a rangi fix lol...... and i think ya right about the sye ....still don't know what I'm going to do with running gear so it will wait until then ....

[4.3LXJ]

Hey Wayne, would it help you out if we found some way to get parts for you here and ship them there? From what you are saying, it might be cheaper for us to get you a complete case for the price of a part.

[cantab27]

cheers Steve ,, have looked at heaps of ways , but at the end of the day shipping kills it for us down here ..have some plans for jeep which might include replacing the trans anyways ,,, will fill you in on info in my build thread when i get more info ....cheers again mate

[XJ4IV]

they have NOOOOO manufacturers there... its sad ... they pay 300 bucks for a basic 33 inch tire and suspension is crazy expensive out there... If I lived there I would be killed by my wife before I could do any modifications on a jeep.... beautiful country but man they dont want it polluted with american parts...

[cantab27]

mate is starting to build kits for jeeps down here so that should help ...... yo ta parts and Nissan parts are cheap ....but who cares about that shit ...lol

[BlueXJ]

it works ,no leaks ...so to answer my own question the 231 seal does work in the 242 ....

I did not know that was the question or I would have responded much earlier. Sorry Wayne.

[cantab27]

np blue ...kinda sorted lol cheers mate

[cantab27]

next seal up in tc is now leaking ,, not much but if oil gets out water can get in ... is this a hard fix ... and no Scott i haven't got the hose clip up to tight ...:smiley-laughing021:
might have to post a pic , its the part of the tc were the tag is on , not the part that is held on by three bolts :confused:

[bluedragon436]

i think that is only reason why I don't want to swap mine to a 242 transfer case.. there isn't a whole lot of stuff out there for them.. well not as much anyways..
