My seals on both difs are leaking, the ones where each tail shaft joins on that area leaks and that bit of shaft area wobbles a bit, so there is a seal in there right?, so i need to figure out how to undo that area to get at the inside, i got my dad onto it to try and undo it but it wouldnt budge apparantly and he even heated it up with the oxy and it still wouldnt budge..
Im not to sure how it works as i have been busy while he was trying to get into them, so any tips on getting into change those seals there would be awesome !
Thanks for ne replys!

How to get into the middle seal area in the dif?
If the pinion "wobbles a bit" replacing the pinion seals will be a waste of time, I think you need to take a trip to the wreckers (or buy a parts car )
The diffs can be rebuilt, but if you don't even know the name of the part (no offence intended) you will struggle with the task, and a professional rebuild will more than likely cost more than 2nd hand.

PS, as bazooked says, a good quality rattle gun with plenty of air should loosen that nut.

Ok we have got a rattle gun.. so ill see if oxy + rattle gun will work.
Also cant i just replace the bearing and seal, and cant u buy these new?
So whats the best way of getting the centre out?
Our parts car is like an old sj50?? (erlier body type) was free... does that same secton on the dif share the same type as the 1.3NT difs? Or else.. zooks r rare at wreckers here.. hmmm

nah, they are not the same, he means LJ.
bearings and seal shouldnt be that much, but becuase you need to remove the diff, the spacing between the teeth is changed and will need to be set perfectly to not get any backlash, this is where a pro is needed.
