W201 differential disassembly question
This afternoon I opened the differential from my 92 190E. The back cover was definetly leaking and the axle seals seem to have some leakage too. I have 2 spare seals here. I know that in order to replace those, I need to remove the circlips holding the axle flanges to the differential. However, if I look at how the diff is made, it seems that the 2 stub axles are the only thing holding the differential in place in the casing. I do not want to have to re-shim the diff as it wasn't noisy and doing this is a lenghty procedure. If I remove the axle flanges, can I just put everything back after that without alignment?
