It looks like it is external, and replaceable by unbolting the flange coupling, see pics below.

I would also check the breather on the top of the diff, these have a tendency to block. The pressure then forces oil out of the seals on the prop & drive shafts.

Pinewood - I have moved your question from here and made it into a new thread Here

Thanks Malcom.That drawing really helps.do you know if the torque setting for
the large nut (131) is critical ? I'm still struggling with this brilliant site.geoff

I can look the torque figure up. To things when something is very tight.

Doing up tighter can make it easier to get the nut off,just a tad, second, shock is better than all of the pulling, for instance with a wheel brace, you can bend it just by pulling, one stamp with the foot,and its off. I know its hard laying under the car to get any strenght into it.

Re the new seal, you must put plenty of oil on it when you re fit the new one, if you do not it will be destroyed in no time.

Thanks Malcom.I much appreciate the info,several years ago in my youth I dug myself a full size pit.

 

[geoffdog]

hi malcom. Did you have any luck with the torque setting.

On a 210.003/004 its 90Nm except code 450. On the 210.010/020/035/037/048/061/262/610. 210.003/004 with code 450 but not 210.007 except code 450 these are 180Nm


Hope its all clear. malcolm

S--- I thought that you would be to proud and that you would never ask, the 210--- is the Vin on the car.

the 450 bit is either in the vin or a plate on the axle, there is a hell of a difference between the two figures.

If you cant find a plate on the diff or VIN I will have another look.

Thanks for trying Malcom but I think we've failed.
