Sounds like a job for a proctologist not a mechanic!
*Ba-da-bing*
Har har har..........
OK, OK, it's a '98 A4 2.8M sedan with waaaaaaaay over 200K miles. The rear diff is leaking, been weeping for a while and I warned them it needed to be resealed but they are limping the car along a bit due to the age - but anyway. It now is leaking rapidly leaking and there is a fair bit of bearing play at the outputs.
Point of my post is that I know at one point recently someone here had a rear diff. sitting in their shop or the basement? Whoever you are - do you still have it?
I have never looked into it if it's possible to rebuild the one in it with new bearings etc. Maybe that's a better way.
I have never pulled the rear out of a B5 - I need to see what I'm up against. ;-(
So anyone have an extra *** end you could throw my way?

Not sure if Pure Hatred still has his , maybe e-mail him if he doesn't chime in here.
I can try and get him at work if you don't get an answer. You can start a collection of rebuilt ones.
