All,
A day or two ago several of you were very helpful with your comments
and answers regarding my efforts to replace the pinion oil seal in my
Healey rearend. I have now borrowed a pneumatic impact tool to try to
loosen the large flange nut. I am assuming the threads on the shaft
are normal threads, that is, "lefty loosy/righty tighty". I have the
flange locked with a metal rod and the park brake is set pretty hard.
When I hit the nut with the impact tool all it did was make a lot of
noise as it banged away. The nut did not budge. I recall the large
nut on the first motion shaft in the gearbox was a left handed
thread. Is that possible again here? I think not but I hate working
against the tide.
