My 208C leaks from every seam, seal, etc. I have a feeling that the 4wd didn't work in this truck when I got it. Never could keep it running long enough to try it out, but there was spare parts as if the PO thought the same thing. Today I began disassembling the case and found a large amount of newer silicone sealant all over the place, most not even sticking (like it was used over oily / dirty surfaces). I tried to find a place that would rebuild this, but there is none. All said to "just go buy a reman unit"...but at 800-1000, thats not happening. So another mess to figure out as I go. Its pretty clean, and the chain doesn't feel too bad. Just not sure it worked and if not, why. Its out and apart....wont get easier to go through.
So got the kit on the way. Upon separating the halves, found most of the needle bearings from the thrust bearing buried in a muck around a silver dollar sized magnet. Pretty sure this was apart before.
Also - anyone know how to get the speed gear out? I can turn it but it wont come out. I know there's just an o-ring but I dont want to gouge the case at all. The plastic insert looks like it is cracked so I need to remove/replace everything.
