Thanks for the advice Brian, I'll certainly follow it and do my best to clean this thing up. The "mess" was actually caused by someone from over your side of the world and probably in CA where the car came from. I'm not suggesting the previous owner did it as I have no doubt he had the integrity and mechanical skills to do the job properly. However, many moons previously he had bought the stock of a retired Packard wrecker and this possibly came from that. It came as a spare when I bought the car and I fitted it a couple of years ago as the one on the car was leaking (now back on the car with the backwards facing rear seal). And yes, the MM kit comes complete with new snap ring. Kind regards, John
