Suggest you re-check diff oil level Nige. The rear end was quite high when I topped it up ;D ;D ::)

Yup .. one of Thursday jobs ....

Check Torques of most of the bolts we did
Hopefully change the 3 "strange" bolts if someone can provide them
Check Diff level
Change centre arm rest
Fit new lock to passenger locker
Tidy boot

But, referring to reply 76, the flange bolt had worked loose IIRC, so something odd was going on back then.

Ok, so the reference was already lost.

That is key as there is only one useable method for seal replacement e.g. the mark and re-fit approach.

The torque method (which is diffcult to do) can only realy be applied when fitting a new bearing.

Nige pointed out that 2Woody had to guestimate the setting because of this. :(
