So, I replaced the input seal and while my leak is less, my box still leaks and I don't think I got the preload correct.
That said, I'm thinking of just rebuilding it. Would love to have someone who has done it before lend a hand. I can get it disassembled and cleaned up so we just need to reassemble. If there is enough interest, I'm willing to hold a tech day.
Thanks.

Well, there's two of us! Maybe we can get one of the guru's to help us out or we can watch a bunch of YouTube videos and get'em done. [emoji23]laffycaffi wrote:I'm in the same boat!

You may want to try and contact Viperwolf. He did mine and is relatively affordable. But you'll have to wait until he gets back from Baja!

Thanks. I'd really like to have a hand in rebuilding it but if the difference is me doing it by myself or Viper doing it for a reasonable price, I'll take Phil.

Doing the 4x4x2 box was really easy, I don't know how different the Bronco box is. I bet if you can find a set of instructions or video, you can do it yourself.

I've watched a few videos. Once you've seen it apart, it really is pretty easy. I'd still feel better if someone who has done it was helping.Gunnibronco wrote:Doing the 4x4x2 box was really easy, I don't know how different the Bronco box is.
