All - It appears that my rear axel oil seal is shot (see pictures below).
Question - Should I just replace the oil seal (9) or should I be replacing all components 9 - 11?
Bonus Question - Since I need to remove the flexible coupling to replace the oil seal, should I just bite the bullet and get a new one?
I would replace the centering peg and the rotoflex. Keep the old one for a spare on the trail.
Thanks for the feedback
UPDATE
I drained the rear diff and the oil was silver and clumpy. The drain plug was completely covered in metallic goo. I think I will flush the diff out.
You don't need the LR tool. Have a look at the video below the peg is very simple to remove.
Just remember 1 thing, the M8 X 1.25 Bolt ONLY holds the socket to the peg... it's the NUT the removes the peg!!!

Roger that! That's for the input I will go pick up a bolt, I have the socket already.
