Thread: handbrake and rear output seal AGAIN

hi all found where the slipping and juddering in my 300tdi 110 is coming from, had the rear transfer output flange done about 500ks ago.
surprise picked up a bit of a oily smell from the handbrake area as well as the juddering and a clunk noise.
pulled it to bits and found oil everywhere, unfortunately I wiped some away before the photos but you can see the problem
I didn't replace the handbrake cable as planned, will have to get a new seal
also there was some movement in the bearing so a bearing as well the shaft is new
this is work I had done and paid for no wonder I feel like im losing it,
any suggestions welcome.cheers all

call the mechainc politely first...
