Hi Steve,<div class="">There are collars on the small shafts that go into the differential that are best machined off. The original ones were pressed on. These collars need to be removed to replace the differential seals. I’m not sure how available the collars are, but new ones can be made and pressed on. The seals I am sure are available. You might as well replace the seal at the aluminum end of the differential as well. You will likely need a machine shop to pull the flange off. They need to be careful. The flange itself can bend. </div><div class="">Best of luck. </div><div class="">Jess<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS" class="">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><br class=""><br class=""><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, January 13, 2021, 1:29 PM, Stephen Foster via Rovernet <<a href="mailto:rovernet@rovernet.org" class="">rovernet@rovernet.org</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv8892364548" class=""><div class="">1/2 shafts out.
