I just looked at the Bentley, the procedure is little different than the output seals which were pretty easy.

I'm going to take care of this while I'm waiting for the driveshaft to come back. I replaced the final drive prop shaft seal and the two output seals on the diff last year. This should take care of the only gear oil leak left.

Default You're right, this is a great procedure - but I wrote it :)

The one I need to do is the "input" seal (where the driveshaft connects to the diff).

Similar concept, but looks to be a little more involved according to the Bentley.
