Handbrake replacement

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Tony

My fun was in my C60S Pattern 13, but the design of the parking brake is very similar. Couple of thoughts, when you replaced the seal what was the condition of the surface it was sealing against. Many of my out put flanges have had a grove in them, which can be fixed with a speedy sleeve. The other place that I have had lub leakage is along the splines, so that it comes out around the nut on the shaft end.

Cheers Phil

I would first just put a pry bar in the best place and pull down on the tranny while you align the j bolt . looks like you only
need a 1/4 inch

Hi Terry

Mate, I needed more like one inch so the hole in the floor was a good option, so easy and will not be a pproblem if I have to get to it again in the future.

Hi Phil

When I stripped the parts down to fit the new oil seals, I was pleasantly surprised to find all was nice and smooth and the splines were OK as well, all I can put this down to is that there must have been an earlier restoration done some years ago or she was treated with kid gloves and that I find hard to believe. The guy I bought the jeep from had it in a shed on a farm for about 15 years, I know he did not touch it.
