Discussion:
driveshaft seal

seal was leaking on right driveshaft. I have pulled the driveshaft/brake assembly. The seal is visible behind a plate with four studs (see my avatar photo). I can't get the plate loose. I'm wondering if it's more than a plate, maybe a capsule holding bearings, etc. Does anyone have a diagram of this? Is this something I can remove without getting into the transmission? Someone for sure has gotten that far into it????

P.S. - I continued a discussion on the C30 forum that was talking about the brakes. I should discontinue that one.

so I got a parts diagram from the dealer and it showed what I was getting into. Pulled it with a slide hammer. Had a tough time removing seal from bearing carrier (that's what the part's called I had to remove). Ordered new seals ($2 each) and some brake shoes. Should be a cheap fix. Now if it would only stop raining!!!
