When you say “centre seal” do you mean on the sundial? 

The seal is fitted from behind the sundial, so once it’s removed you knock it out towards the direction of the diff (orientation when the sundial is fitted). 

When you fit the new seal sure you have the correct unit to put in as they are directional. Also have a new large O ring on hand to install too. 

When you remove the sundial from the gearbox, mark where it’s currently located across the dial and the gearbox case, count the number of turns until the dial is free from the threads, also a good idea to mark where this point is so you’re not potentially counting a turn that’s not engaged on the thread.

Thanks Bennie,

                    Yes, that's what I'm doing. I have the o-rings as well and was able to get them new from the dealer. All I had to go on was this diagram

You’ll be right. Do one side at a time so you have a reference point for the removed sundial. If the dial becomes hard to turn about two notches past your original start mark, back it off so the marks line up. Can’t go wrong doing it this way!

I need to split a transmission soon, and I'll be replacing all the seals while I'm at it...  will need to figure out how to set the gears, not just mark the positions.  yay.
