Who's the best people for changing seals on Volvo DPD legs in the Solent area

[beeks]

Hi all,

Just removed my out drives to changed the bellows and found the oil contaminated with water, I picked up a line last season and found a large melted piece line between the props.
I have made a pressure tester up and found the seals between the contra rotating shafts leaking, had a look online and it looks like special tools and pullers are required for the job.
Any advice?

Thanks

Ian

I'm in ps all the time, perhaps a PM , let me know your boat details

You could go to Bucks to take a look at the drives instead Paul with you being Midlands based. It'd avoid Beeks needing to take the drives back down south unless you need to see the boat too
