cheers craig.
I was running my 14's as they had a new set of hankooks on them from last year that i never got to use.
Ive been having a few issues with the box keep dropping its oil out if left with the car parked only at certian angles.
Ive traced it back to the drive shaft seal on the passenger side.
So today i head of to skurrys (local vx dealer) and got a new seal.I will hopefully be fitting this tomorrow and then fill the oil up again.
just wondered can this be done by just leavering the old seal (once drive shaft has bean removed) then tap the new on in ?
Any imfo would be good as never changed one.
Yep - simply remove shaft and prise out the seal - tap in the new one and refit shaft - top up gear oil and roadtest
Make sure the seal is not damaged when tapping back in - metal spring in the seal to stay intact and careful not to damage the new seal when putting the shaft back in

cheers mate.
I thought that was just the case but thought i would check on here first.
Thank you.
When I changed my driveshaft seals for the first time they were a right bi-atch. Second time wasn't easy. Ideally you want a 36-42mm socket to drive it in square (which I never had). I ran a little univeral blue round the edge too ;)
cheers Ash i will make sure to use the big hammer lol.
Got it all done and seams to of done the trick.
first off had to get the old one out and i managed this with a hammer chissel and mole grips.
Once out i cleaned the area where new seal was going to sit then put the new one back in.
Ash mentioned a large socket but as the biggest i had was a 30 i went searching in the garage and found a clamp for holding the coil in on a nova.
I opened it till it was the right size for the seal then rested that against the seal and a bit of wood i found.
All i did then was tap the bit of wood with the hammer and it pushed the new seal home.
Job done.
One jacked up the car.

Once all was fitted i lowed it back down and refilled the gearbox oil.
I couldnt take it for a road test as i left the ecu at home but will go for a little spin later.
Good lad Chris :)
