Folks a couple of weeks ago I sent an email on this. What with the
holidays and other things, I never got much further.

I now have the flange and nut removed. ( long wrench did the trick, I
borrowed it).
Pretty quick when you get the right tools. All parts by the way are
marked for alignment and I counted the turns (almost  eleven full turns)

But the old oil seal is not so easy. apart from destroying it in
removal, does anyone out there have a trick or two that I can use. I
have confined space as all I have is the axle stands (on the frame not
the axles). Th manual says drill holes and use self tapping screws.
Anyone try this?

Alan
