Having spent some considerable time fitting new inner axles seals using the advice in various posts while withstanding a daily force 10 wind, I would like to thank all those who replied to queries and have supplied info for others to read. The drive shafts have had Speedi Sleeves fitted prior to my ownership, for those who have not seen them a picture is below. The info on them can be found and downloaded from.
