[TR] Rear diff front seal

[Joe Curry]

I seriously doubt a TR3 has a crush spacer to set the preload.  Most likely
it was done with shims.

CAREFULLY remove the nut counting the turns as you remove it. Easiest to 
use nail polish/paint/etc to mark the exact nut position before 
starting.   You'll want to tighten it to exactly the same place upon 
re-istall. (with judicious lock tite application)

Once removed, two screw drivers or a proper seal puller (looks like a 
flat metal crowbar with small single hooks at each 'hammer head' edge.

I'd like to also suggest.... consider polishing the flange surface where 
the seal rides.... seal longevity.

also don't foget a liberal coat of oil on that surface before installing 
the flange into t he new seal to lube that surface.

Haven't changed one of these.  I have the drive shaft out.  Can the front
seal be changed without revenge the whole rear axle?  I'm a newbie on the 3
so please be easy on me.
