Hi guys

I am replacing the main shaft seal in my IRS gearbox and it has a clutch release bearing guide sleeve that I removed.

I unfortunately forgot to note the orientation of the sleeve as it has 2 holes opposite each other.

Are the holes fitted North/South or East/West?

I've got a feeling they are North/South.

Thanks

Regards
Greg

Not 100% but I'd say north/south for drainage purposes 🙂

madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍
