I just took a drive to the shop and came out to find a big pool of oil under each wheel on the rear diff.
Once i got home I pulled off the drums and the oil is leaking ouT the outer seals.

Any advice where to buy parts?????
And how to replace them,
Anyone in chch keen to help me out??
Im happy to provide beer or pay!

Before you do seals check the diff breather is not blocked.
If blocked the oil/air will heat up and expand and if the breather is blocked it will push past the seals.
From memory you have to pull the axles and remove the bearings to change those seals.
May as well get bearing kits.

My breather hole is bit small going to fit a bigger one, was going to get bearings as one as dodgyish,
Heard many ways to get them apart, if anyone can help me out it wouldbe great!

This will give you an idea of how to do it.
Personally id get a mechanic to replace the bearing .....id just remove them & reinstall the axles myself.
