W210 Rear axle differential seal/gasket replacement
Last night, I noticed oil weeping at the driver’s side of the Diff gasket joint. Could mere tightening to the screws solve the problem, or do I need a full seal replacement. If so, is this a DIY job?
Can someone give a step-by-step procedure of replacing the Diff seal with tips and tricks. I did a search, not much came up and it appears this may be a common problem with W210. |

Be sure the unit isn't overfilled. I am not seeing any regular leaks from 210 diffs.

Could you get me the process for the E320? Might be very similar. What tools do I need to open the back plate? The boltd are looking like a splinned socket
Thank you. Olivier Last edited by Olivier; 07-11-2009 at 11:13 PM. |
