[QUOTE="Captain Sensible, post: 7709156, member: 107484"] Sorry Andy, I never had to go that far on mine. My problem were knackered seals around the top & bottom of the shaft ..... The top seal normally goes first because (at least with a MF 50/50B series), the shaft sticks out of the top cover plate & dirt & grit work on down around it & wear the shaft & seal. One piece of advice here ...... if the top or bottom seals have worn a groove in the shaft, clean it up really well (mechanically & chemically) and fill the groove with good-quality body filler. Then sand down level with fine sandpaper. Provides a new running surface for the seal & lasts a good few years (well, mine has!). [/QUOTE]
