[s-cars] driveshaft seal replacement

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Mike,

  I did one of the front drive flange seals on my trans. It was a piece of
cake. You can put 2 of the bolts in the flange and use a big screwdriver to
hold it. The flange is held on with one allen bolt in the middle. There is a
stop for the seal built into the trans so that part is easy. Just make sure
you oil it up good. Check the Bentley for the torque spec. It's something
weird like "7 lb + 1/2 turn or something. I had the trans out so I could tip
it on its side. You may lose a bit of oil. I didn't do the one on the rear of
the trans but I think the seal is the same.

 Subject: [s-cars] driveshaft seal replacement

 Has anyone done replacement of the driveshaft seals
 and can point me in the right direction on part
 numbers and / or some directions. This will be garage
 replacement 101 version please. I figure I will be
 doing all 4 since I am dropping the exhaust and
 driveshafts anyway. Any special tools needed? There
 has been some drip marks in the garage which have
 increased due to cold weather =3D seal shrinkage. I was
 hoping to hold off on this until my clutch was due
 but, the smell of burning gear oil dripping on my
 exhaust is killing me!
 Thanks
