To add that can go hard, if not used for a long time and split

Use a small screw driver like a tyre lever, and slowly work around it. That should lift it on.

I was just wondering what peoples opinions are on this.
There is no seal , just an outer gaiter.
Does the shifter bush act as a seal or does the slot on the shifter allow oil past ????
I know I've seen quite a few pics of the bush breaking up.
I know this is not a proper seal but it's only got to stop oil splashing up.
I dunno :er:
