Hi all,
Been stalking the forums for quite a while and bought a 2007 D40 a few months ago.
I need to replace the front driveshaft seal from the transfer case (common problem apparently) and I bought the seal from Nissan, went to fit it and didn't even get the first step done!
I couldn't get the bolts that connect the front driveshaft to the transfer case undone. It really needs a socket but the gap isn't big enough to get one in (terrible design) so I have to use a ring spanner but it is threatening to strip the bolt!
Is there a special tool / technique to get in there without stripping the bolt?
Cheers.
