Hi,

I have a leak which looks like the oil seal has gone between the rear diff and the drive shaft. Having spent most of today dismantling the rear I noticed that the shaft seems to slide in and out of the CV joint (I think that is what it is called) nearest to the diff. The gator is intact, with no oil leaks so I'm relucant to muck about with it anymore without knowing what I am doing. So please, help me understand whether this is normal or the CV joint is buggered.

Also, I had a heck of a time getting most of the nuts and bolts off the suspension. I clearly don't want to be putting these back on so was wondering where the best place is to get replacements that are the right size and fit?

Thanks
Peter
