Hi all,
I noticed recently that my beloved ML is beginning to leak gear oil from the front differential. It appears to be leaking from the seal on the driveshaft flange. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to replacing this (Gillybenztech?). More specificaly, is a special tool required to pull the flange off from the differential once I remove the six hex bolts from the CV-type joint to move the driveshaft out of the way or can I just pull it off by hand? I plan on purchasing the seal shortly and am comtemplating doing the job myself. Would this be possible for a fairly advanced DIY'er?

Thanks!
