[s-cars] Paging Igor re V8 Diff Seals

[Sean Douglas]

Its the same part numbers as your stock diff, I will post them tonight if no 
one else has.

There are 2 seals, a large one about 4 inches in dia and small one about 1.5 
inches.

After removing the axle stubs, measure the depth of the seals so you know how 
far to tap them back in.

The small seal will pop out easily with a screwdriver or small prybar. The 
large seal takes more effort. I drilled a small hole in the metal near the 
edge and screwed in a sheet metal screw and pryed it with vice-grips, being 
careful not to damage the soft aluminum.

Also, be aware that some differentials have a shim between the axle stub and 
the gears. Make sure you make note of which side it goes on and also mark the 
stubs for left and right so you can put them back in the original orientation.
