300TDI Rear diff oil seal replacement any ideas

<< < (2/2)

Ralph:
Take prop off then look inside what you call a stub and you will see then nut in question! undo it pull your "stub" off and you will see the seal, prise it out tap new one in and reasemble

ChrisW:
Bearing in mind the 300 rear diff does not have a 'conventional' prop coupling... if you look at the peg it will have something like an M8 thread in it - there is a special tool to remove this peg however we broke three of them trying to remove mine  :roll:
This has been covered before somewhere - try doing a search, you should get the results, think it involved using a piece of exhaust pipe and a long bolt.

THEN you will see the nut  :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
I'm sure they are right, the hardest bit is getting that stub out of the middle of the flange (3 bolts right :?: ).
If you can get it out then you have to remove the big but (nyloc) from the centre of the flange, pull the flang eoff and prise out the old seal.

Fit the new seal and reassemble.

Fortunately because the diff is built with shims you only have to re-tighten the centre nut to torque.  On an English axle there is a crush-can rather than shims and you have to measure the running torque.  It's not a simple job on those, but a LR diff is pretty straightforeward, if you can get that stub out.

p.s. Try heating the flange gently too.

The Winfrows:
Thanks for the help chaps me thinks i will have a go at it this weekend. Many thanks once again Andy.
