I can recommend this company for replacement seals... The knaulage of their sales department is second to none

If it’s got a screw on gland it’s not too bad, if it’s been welded at the bottom and needs cutting off it’s a whole new kettle of fish!!!

The small waste of oil is perhaps not worth worrying about if its going to be alot of work to fix. It only dose it first tip.

Get someone who knows what they are doing to repair it, they have the tooling and experience , seal kits are cheap until they need replaced again after short periods.
Paying £35 to £50 an hour is good value when it’s done right, does take away the satisfaction of repairing it yourself but if your doing that your not doing anything else.

Getting the pins out top and bottom can be the worst though.

Have an honest look at it and see if you have what is required to get it apart. A big pair of stilsons probably won’t cut it.
take it to someone else if it’s going to be a struggle without all the right gear.
