I'm trying to fit new inner driveshaft oil seals - The ones nearest the gearbox.

The hanyes isn't that helpful and i'm not sure which bits i have to remove.


Do i need to undo the steerring arms and the tie bars? Then do i need to remove the disc assembly and the hub and all that?

The haynes seems to suggest that pretty much anything attached to the driveshaft has to come off - Which me and my dad didn't think was the case.


If somebody could just give us a quick walkthrough on what needs doing that'd be great

Not sure really,

Just pop the top ball joint then release the pot joint from diff and see if will come out. If it won't, pop the bottom ball too - the joint only fits an inch or two inside the diff so that should be enough.

Just remember to drop the oil out of the sump plug first, otherwise it will drop on you!!

Yeah so far i've dropped the oil and popped both ball joints.

So then next i just get the fork tool i've got and pop the driveshaft out from the gearbox?

It may have enough room to pop out but i'm not sure i'll be able to get the shaft out enough to fit a new seal - Since its all being held in place by the steering arm and tie bars?
