Changing gearbox diff seals

[Titus]

Does this help?

@ titus,

Think that is 1.6
We are on a 2.2 differential, wich is different.

Titus,
That's a crankshaft rear seal.  We're talking about the one where the driveshaft goes into the diff.

Like I intended, I cleaned up the dirty area yesterday evening, and while it still looks clean, there's a thin film of oil covering the surface below the driveshaft after todays driving. There are no other indications of leaks on the gearbox. So the seal has definitely failed...

Hello Anders,

You should remove the N/S trailing arm, and short drive shaft, which should come out on yours as it was well greased, and then you can change the seals.  You can remove the arm and shaft together to save removing the hub nut and shaft from the hub.  I've done this a number of times.  You have the lip seal which I gave you, and an 'O' ring if you need it, is part number 3010.15  Should be a straight forward job!  Make sure you lubricate new lip seal before you put the drive shaft back.  Dry lip seals are quickly destroyed.
