oil leak rear axle n/s

Post by Bulwell Bongoleers » Mon Apr 13, 2009 10:40 am

Hi All

just having a look round under the bongo this morning and saw this oil leak. :shock:
It looks like its leaking from between the rear axle and the brake back plate.
Is there a seal between these? and is it an easy job to replace?
This is a 4wd Bongo don't know if this makes a differance?

Thanks Andy

No - but I would think that there has to be a seal (has been on every other car I've had with a back axle). Don't know if it's easy to replace or not :? - some needed a hub puller to get the hub off and access the seal.

The 26-157 number matches.....for the outer seal - the 154 maybe replaced by the 150....
