Drive shaft sealing ring
1. Raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on stands. Remove the relevant front wheel and the splash guard from under the engine.
2. Drain the oil from the gearbox.
3. On models equipped with ABS, remove the sensor located on the suspension.
4. Unscrew the nut securing the ball joint to the hub and remove the ball joint from the lower arm.
Right sealing ring
5. Loosen the two nuts on the intermediate bearing mounting bolts, then turn the bolts 90° so that their heads are offset from the outer bearing race.
6. Move the front wheel hub away from the vehicle, while pulling the intermediate bearing away from the rig's suspension.
7. With the drive shaft removed from the differential, remove the dust seal from the inside of the drive shaft, noting its location, and support the drive shaft to avoid damaging the CV joint or CV joint boot.
8. Using a large screwdriver, remove the seal ring from the differential.
9. Clean the O-ring seat thoroughly, then fill the recess between the lips of the new O-ring with lubricant. Install the new O-ring in place using a suitable tubular mandrel.
10. If the seal ring is equipped with a protective plastic sleeve, also install it before installing the drive shaft.
11. Clean the drive shaft splines, apply a thin layer of grease to the working edges of the sealing ring and the drive shaft splines.
12. Install the dust seal onto the drive shaft.
13. Align the internal splines of the drive shaft with the differential axle gears so as not to damage the sealing ring, then align the intermediate bearing with the unit hanger and install the drive shaft completely.
14. Check that the intermediate bearing is correctly installed, then turn the mounting bolts back 90° so that their heads are seated against the outer race of the bearing, and tighten the mounting nuts to the specified torque.
15. Connect the lower ball joint to the lower control arm. Install a new ball joint mounting nut and tighten to the specified torque.
16. Install the ABS sensor.
17. Install the wheel and mudguard. Lower the car to the ground.
18. Add oil to the gearbox to the required level.
Left sealing ring
19. Move the left hub away from the vehicle and remove the inner end of the drive shaft from the differential, being careful not to damage the drive shaft seal ring. Support the drive shaft to avoid damaging the constant velocity joint or the CV joint boot.
Gearbox BE3
20. Using a large screwdriver, remove the seal ring from the differential.
22. Clean the O-ring seat thoroughly, then fill the recess between the lips of the new O-ring with lubricant. Install the new O-ring in place using the appropriate tubular mandrel (see above). If the O-ring is equipped with a protective plastic sleeve, also install this before installing the drive shaft.
23. Clean the drive shaft splines, apply a thin layer of grease to the working edges of the sealing ring and the drive shaft splines.
ML5T gearbox
24. Unscrew the bolt with the differential bearing plate and lever the sealing ring out of the plate. Also remove the O-ring. Clean the plate and fill the space between the working lips of the new sealing ring with lubricant. Install the new sealing ring using the appropriate tubular mandrel. Install the new O-ring seal and install the plate onto the gearbox.
25. Align the drive shaft splines with the differential axle gear splines and insert the drive shaft into place so as not to damage the sealing ring.
26. Connect the lower ball joint to the lower control arm. Install a new ball joint mounting nut and tighten to the specified torque. Install the ABS sensor. Install the wheel and mudguard. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Add gearbox oil to the required level.
Primary shaft sealing ring
1. Remove the gearbox.

2. Unscrew the three bolts securing the guide sleeve of the release bearing of the BE3 gearbox (the mounting bolts are indicated by arrows in the photo on the left) or two ML5T gearbox mounting bolts (indicated by arrows in the photo on the right) and remove the sleeve from the input shaft together with the O-ring or gasket.
3. Remove the sealing ring from the release bearing guide sleeve.
4. Inspect the surface of the input shaft that contacts the seal ring for wear, scoring, scratches or other damage that may have damaged the seal ring. Minor defects can be polished out, but more serious defects will require replacement of the input shaft.
5. Dip the new O-ring in clean oil and install it into the guide bushing.
6. Install a new O-ring or gasket on the back of the guide bushing. Reinstall the bushing. Install the bolts and tighten them to the specified torque.
7. Inspect the clutch and reinstall the gearbox.
Gear Selector Shaft Seal Ring (gearbox ve3)
1. Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the left front wheel and the fender guard.
2. Using a large screwdriver as a lever, disconnect the link rod ball joint from the gear selector shaft.

3. Using a lever, remove the gear selector shaft seal from the housing.
4. Inspect the surface of the selector shaft that contacts the sealing ring for wear, scoring, scratches or other damage that may have damaged the sealing ring. Minor defects can be polished out, but more serious defects will require replacement of the selector shaft.
5. Lubricate the outer edges of the new O-ring and install it into place, sliding it along the gear selector shaft until it stops.
6. Connect the link rod to the gear selector shaft.
