Rear diff to Prop-shaft seal replacement?

LR90 · Oct 8, 2009

Ok iv just noticed that the bottom of my rear diff is wet! but i couldn't see this from the tow-bar side! :doh: only when messing with exhaust the other day i spotted it checked the level & i think its been running half full for 6 months! so iv put some thicker multi grade in to clear it out with after a few miles!

anyhow the main question is is it a quick job to change the seal?

i.e take P-shaft off then fork out the seal & bosh a new one in?

So it is pretty straight forward. bash a new one in then?

hook the old one out and grease the center of new one, gently and evenly tap new one in, without damaging it
