hi mate i just did my seals on gearbox i did the driveshaft 1s and the inside of gearbox 1 and crank seal all at same time took me like 4 hours. coz u need gearbox off and clutch out but if u r only doin driveshaft 1 dead easy mate, just take driveshafts out take u like an hour. is worth changin them all if u got time 2 waste tho. cost me £44 for all the seals

thx m8 is there any special tools you need and did u get seals from citroen, plus do you get oil all over if your just doing the driveshaft? cause i wording wheather i should top the oil up

As soon as you pull the shaft out oil will come out all over. So have a container at the ready to catch it.

The special tools i used were a screwdriver and mole grips :D

Just make sure you take note of which way it was and then put the other in the same way.

When filling the gearbox you need to undo the plug half way up the box on the passenger side. This is the level box to show where you should fill the box to. Fill the box until oil comes out here. Then let it all drain till no oil comes out. Then put the plug back in :)

or use a spanner, 27mm iirc and take out the sump plug... drain it, then remove the shafts ...
