Deep apologies if this is covered anywhere else (I've looked and couldn't find my particular problem).
I'm changing the passenger side front hub/bearing assy on my 1999 TD5 and I thought I'd change the leaking oil seal on the drive shaft while I was at it.
No problem getting it all to bits but for love or money I can't remove the old oil seal.
The rubber middle part of it came out easily and appears to be a separate bit from the surrounds whereas the replacement I have (and all the replacements I can find pics of of t'interweb) seem to be one complete item with a rubber inner seal and metal/rubber surround.
Am I missing something obvious? Should the whole thing come out very easily?
Any tips/ help would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you
Giles
