Hi, replacing the seals on the speedodrive. (combining it with the gearboxoil change)
(inspired by the saturday video of Ian / Cuddy_K) O-ring makes perfect sense. Easy one. But the seal.... I had a hard time getting the old seal out, so it came out in pieces in the end. The new seal does not just drop in position. Should the new shaft seal (999 113 036 50) just drop in ? Or do I just put the shaft in, seal around the end of the shaft and then the rest of the parts will press it further in when I am assembling it back ? Or do you press the seal in first and then the shaft through it ? Any tips ? Thanks ! |

I know a lot of people use vice grips to tighten the 26mm part of the angle drive but I hate marking up a part of the car if I don't have too.
I found 26mm combination wrenches from about $12 to $30 for a ratcheting version from McMasterCarr. |
