[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 629354, member: 12139"] on the money there NightJar. Any good bearing place should be able to supply all bearings, lip seals, gasket paper, gasket goo (non hardening type) and oil - no problem. Then with the right know how a full dismantle and rebuild is easy money. Gaskets... just DIY from the paper and add a bit of gasket goo on them. It probably has a case breather on it too, dont forget to give it a good clean and Bobs ya Auntie... well ya just never know these days :D Even if the crown and pinion are shot, they can be easily re-fabricated too. Dont ever throw it away, it should outlast you, easily. Not much cant be fixed these days unless its made in China and even then most of those can be fixed if you can determine what manufactures design they reverse engineered, then just use the OEM parts. But it aint worth it - cheaper to junk and buy again [/QUOTE]
