afternoon fella's,
a week or so ago i started noticing drops of oil on the drive way, it was obvious it was coming from the rear diff and on closer inspection both drive shaft oil seals are weeping oil, is it common for 2 seals to go at the same time?
so, im about to embark on changing them, is it a pretty straight forward job?
is there anything in particular i need to do or keep an eye out for while changing them?
I'll be checking the breather while i'm at it to make sure it isn't blocked and obviously checking the bearing for any excessive movement.
are the seals easy enough to get out while the diff is in place or are you best off removing it completely?
only issue i have is my driveway is on a slant and it scares the life out of me working under the car on axle stands having already had the car go over once before (luckily i wasnt under it at the time!).
hmm anyone know of any garages with pits to rent in chesterfield? lol
oh and its a freelander 1, 2004 TD4.
cheers in advance
