    Re greasing bearings, an alternative is to use the gadget originally intended for icing birthday and Christmas cakes using a plain narrow nozzle. I always found it quite successful. Not sure about the modern plastic ones, as I purloined my mother's 1950's metal gadget that withstood the pressure. (She did find out eventually, together with her old deep saucepan I used to heat pistons in, prior to fitting gudgeon pins).

    We always used to set end float so that half shafts just touch, if you turn one and the other one turns in the same direction then they are too tight, you then add shims so that when one turns the other one goes in reverse

    You still need to change the outer seal. Even if the inner seal is bad, the oil can’t get by the outer seal if it’s doing it’s job!

    Very true. But just doing the inner is well within the capability of the average DIY mechanic without special tools.

    @@CowfarmerDan I guess the outer seal was leaking oil that had passed through the bearing. Changing just the inner seal does hold the oil back though and is less of a job than trying to replace the outer one too. This video gives me confidence that I could replace the inner seal, refitting that shrink ring wouldn't be possible for me!
