Land Rover Discovery Rear Diff seal 04

Hi. Has anyone ever renewed the rear propshaft flange diff seal on a 04 Land Rover Discovery. I've removed the propshaft at the diff but there is no centre nut holding the flange on. Does the flange just pull out or is it held in place by something i'm missing?

Is it the type with rubber doughnut connecting prop to diff?
If so, you need to extract the centre prop locating lug, by drawing it out of the centre of the flange, then the bolt is behind that. See no.11 in image below:

I just use a deep socket and a bolt with nut on it. As you tighten the nut up onto the socket, it draws the peg out.

Hi,
Use an M8 threaded bolt in a slide hammer,
screw it into the flange the pull it out.

Make sure you measure the depth of the exisiting seal so as to put the new seal in to the correct depth.

Suggest you post questions like this in the technical discussion forum.

Regards
Steve
