Anyone familiar w/ trans rear output shaft seal replacement? Is this A8 writeup close enough
to get me through the job on the S4 (exhaust differences aside)? I don't have access to Bently so I've been searching archives (amongst other places) in preparation.

Any tips are much appreciated.

Does the Torsen housing need to be removed in order to remove driveshaft on a 6sp? It's mentioned
in this post, vaguely:

No no no...Just unbolt the driveshaft from the output flange on the back of the transmission, and
then remove the output flange from the transmission by removing it's retaining bolt.

Here's a good diagram of the action:

#4 is the seal in question. They recommend using a press but you should be able to improvise with everything still on the back of the transmission.
