Expansion plug in bull pinion leaking...

John from NH · Jun 25, 2014

The expansion plug in the right bull pinion is leaking oil onto my brakes. Is there any way to reseat it or otherwise tighten it up or would it just be easier to clean it well with a degreaser and seal it with RTV? Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
John

All the expansion plugs I ever needed were still available. But usually I had to buy a box of 10 to get one. I would go with a new plug with a bit of sealer dabed on the edge.

Ebay the rest if you don"t want them.

I agree on the sealer. Years ago I think my dad used permatex on the one on the ZA (I know permatex is a bad word)

Permatex (#2) is still one of the best sealers I have ever used. Its just somewhat messy.
