[urq] rear diff input seal

[Patrick Carlier]

It's been a long time , but iirc it's as easy as 123 .

Remove the propshaft .
The drive flange is secured with a central nut .
Block both wheels ,parking brake fi ,  and remove the nut .
Now you can pull out the flange .
There's some kind of splash guard behind it , gently pry it out .
And next is the seal  .
Remove it with a small screwdriver or a steel hook or something .
This can be a bit tricky , but it's quite piossible . Just don't scratch the 
shaft surface .
Some oil will spill .
Put in a new seal and make sure it's dead straight . A bushing of the right 
dimension to drive it in is handy .
And put it all back togehtehr again

Don't forget to top the oil level .

Good luck
Pat
