Easy job, just drain the box of fluid, remove the driveshaft, replace the seal, replace the shaft.fill the box back up

and its jst an easy on and off job hope it is as easy as it sounds :)

Also, yeah you'll need to slide the shaft all the way out, so that's a jack up, wheel off, hub nut undone, wishbone popped, shaft out job at the minimum.

Fairly simple tbh, and the seals shoukdn't be that expensive from Citroen.

al get the car on the ramp in my work :)
And am a best geting the seals from citroen ?

the seals from citroen cost about £15 irrc. wen i did mine i found the drop links to be a bit of a bitch

I had to grind my droplinks off. The hex insert had rounded off.

£14 for seal from citroen, couldnt find them at motor factors.

same ere cost me £25 for a new pair

Cost me £70!!!! As it was the day before trax they went. when fittings bushes. Citroen was the only place that had them in stock

a2z motorspares ftw that was a nice dent in the wallet m8

thanks 4 all ur input guys :)
gona get the seals on friday will post back up wen all is gd hope fully :)

no kneed to drain the gearbox, just tilt the car up on stands or the jack.

easy to do. Better safe than sorry and have gearbox oil staining your drive
