Thanks again.

Alex, sorry just for clarity, when you say undo the driveshaft at wheel hub, do you mean that undoing the nut at the wheel hub will be enough to pull the shaft free when I’ve undone the 6 splined bolts at the gearbox end, I.e no need to free the wheel hub assembly at all?

Fantastic, thank you

Thanks so that’s why I need to take the splined bolts out then, to get to the centre bolt?

Does the hub need undoing in this case then or can I leave that alone and just get it apart by undoing the splined bolts?

Novice questions I know

Hi all, I have just discovered the same issue, drivers side leak from the shaft seal.

I’m happy with a spanner so will do the repair myself but have looked at a few YouTube videos and am a little uncertain on getting the shaft spline out of the gearbox.

In some it seems that I don’t need to undo ...
