300Tdi Pinion Seals

(1/1)

Boomer:
A quick question for those with "the knowledge". I've just noticed the rear diff pinion seal is weeping on my 300Tdi. I have a new seal ready to go in, bought for the front, I assume they're the same?
The questions are: What size socket do I need for the drive flange?
Is it just a case of undoing the flange, levering out the old seal, putting in the new and doing up to a specified torque?
Do I have to get involved in shims and preloads on the pinions gears?

Thanks for your help guys
Boomer  :D

beast5680:
it should be as you say just undo the flange change the seal and refit etc
off the top of my head i cant remember the socket size though
