I am overhauling the disc brakes on my '62 Super Major. On the right hand unit, grease (not oil) has collected in the bottom - the only way in seems to be through the bull pinion shaft. Is there a seal on this? If so, does anyone know where I can get one in the UK?

Bob,
Yes you have a seal behind the brake discs. When the discs and the actuators are removed you will see a ring of bolts holding the brake houseing on. Remove these and lever the houseing off. The seal is in the back. Also, whilst the houseing is off, just look into the space behind and check you do not have problems with the bull pinion shaft bearing.Do not move the bull pinion houseing as there are shims from the dif bearings behind it and the holes may become displaced and make it impossible to get the bolts back in again with ease
regards
Brian

Brian - thanks for this - I have replied separately to your message on the drag link. As far as this query is concerned, it looks as though the oil has been overfilled at some time and this has forced its way through the seal - which seems to be fairly sound. What I thought was grease seemed in fact to be oil + dirt! What I did find was a drain hole in the housing between the box and the brake disc area and this was blocked, so the oil was able to spill over into the brake area. I have cleared it and lowered the oil to the correct level and hope this will have cured the problem. By the way, I kept the shims in place by slipping a thin, plain, bar through one of the bolt holes in the brake casing and then slid the casing off over this. Thanks again for your help.

Regards

Bob
