I have a new leak at what appears to be the output shaft seal, slings tranny oil over onto the passenger cat. Question is - is the output shaft screwed in with a 6mm hex(center of shaft) like the front axle mounts? Bentley doesn't make mention of this... ETKA shows a lock ring on the shaft and that you have to remove the torsen housing and then disassemble that to get the shaft out. Found the Stasis pics on the torsen swap but doesn't show shaft removal(not necc for this I am assuming).

Researching what I'll have to pull to get to the oil seal at the tranny tail. Any help appreciated.

there is a snapring on the inside, then press out the flange, replace seal, press flange shaft back in....its not that bad to do. Tips are easier, just a t40 through the middle like the 6mm in the axel shafts.

bearings when doing this? Thanks much.

you can pound it out with a malett. You wont hurt the bearing. Its not a "true" press fit like a pinion bearing. But it is tight.
