Replacing the stub axle distance piece / oil seal runner

{From Ye Olde Forum}
Due to blocked axle breather I have replaced the front oil seals
Oil seal runner looked substantially groovy ..

With advice from Messrs Strang,MuckyP & dmbarry I decided to
have a go
three 3mm holes. I was surprised how easy the drilling was, I
expected hardened steel, no wonder the grooves appeared

one moderate twat and it split, one more and it was loose.

I now needed stub axle distance piece[oil seal runner] 599698
£4.79 O.E.M
better make that two, might as well do the other side
Fitting the new part was a doddle even for me.
The underside of the distance piece is bevelled to accept
sealent.
So a bead of Hylomar Universal Blue applied where the stub axle
meets the flange.
The new distance piece heated in a mug of boiling water and
patted dry.
Using the hub nut box spanner as a drift with a piece of wood on
top to protect the spanner
the new piece is easily persuaded into position.
Which was nice

I have never had to drill them - just a bang with hammer and
cold chisel .
Good post - should save some angst

I gave mine a wee tckle with a cutting disc on the angle grinder
to give me a seat for the chisel. And I even managed not to
scratch the stub axle. I replaced with brtipart ones so I'll get
a chance to do this job again soon.

I also fitted a britpart one once, It lasted 11 months. the old
one i removed was hard as rock and shattered when hit with a
hammer and chisel. when i removed the Shitpart one twas like
warm Lurpak and proceeded to turn and smush rather than split.
An that was the last Shitpart item that was fitted and then
removed from the landy...

Just split both mine off, They had worn where the bearing fits
against, and the seal runner had a groove in it. Drilled like
pictured and then split with a chisel and a big hammer, New ones
coming from paddocks...Hopefully not britpart but hey ho better
than the buggerd ones that were on.
