Hello Guys:

Just like to add, have done the 'O' ring change on my 98 2.7 which was getting extremely grimy at the back end following a 2000km trip across France and Spain.

Should have done this before the journey - now clean as a whistle.

Used the boat plug as suggested, much cheaper than an internal bearing puller, plus easier to use in restricted space!
