Would taking it off be easier, oh I feel stressed this is going to be difficult ,I might get Gerry @Gingerbus to hold my hand

Yes, take it off.

Jerry can hold your hand if you like.

 

Take if off, you need a puller , it’s not hard, man up xx

 

I'll have a look tomorrow but expect a lot of questions

I have one of those

 

Tis pretty straightforward, Baz.

 

Otherwise you could be spending a few nights in East Grinstead Snotts

 

Wasn't someone selling seal kits in here?

You will need the big puller to get at one of the seals. And dont take the nut off , just loosen when using the puller, unless you like ballistic weaponry.

 

He's all out of seals, I was after a set a while ago.

 

Hijacking thread slightly- but MOT man recommended replacing my perished one of these... I take it the steering box needs to come off for that to happen?

No, you remove the steering column or at least unbolt the column and lift it up to get the coupler bolts in and out.
