Handbrake

[DRanged]

If you are one of the unlucky ones that has a rear transfer case seal that always likes to leak no matter what you do, ( Classic rangie through D1 to D2 ) hear are a couple of pics of a remedy to keep the oil off your brake shoes and drum

This photo shows a small piece of felt siliconed into the drain slot, and then it goes through the casing drain slot and outside the casing. This acts like a reversed candle wick and tracks the oil away from the shoes and drum.

Another tip is to use an industrial hand cleaner and a scourer to clean the shoes and drum. Works like a treat.

neat trick, i should have done that today, whilst i was under it.
but
the connection to the gearbox leaks more - got to clean it up a bit to investigate.

Dont forget you are more than welcome to put it on the hoist if need be.
