no biggy, drive shaft off, pull out gear shaft (may need slide hammer, or two pry bars, its held on to the spider gears by a small clip. Not sure how much space you'll have leaving the diff in the car), pull seal, then punch in new seal, then gear shaft (shop manual recommends a new clip. Check there is 2 - 3mm of play in the axle direction, then check that the shaft will not come out by pulling by hand) and Bob's your cross-dressing aunty!Originally posted by ScubasurfI developed an oil leak on the front diff on the short side.
