bump for an old thread.

A mate has just ripped the seal right next to where the passenger side CV goes into the gearbox. It is dripping out tranny fluid.

How easy/hard is this to change?

I'm assuming it can be changed without taking the gearbox apart?

I refer to this seal.

It's pretty straight forward once you get the axle out.

Pop the seal with a large screwdriver, and I machined the installer below to install it. A couple taps with a hammer and it is in. Not too hard at all. The seal driver I made pilots on the differential carrier, so the seal goes in dead straight.
