Take pictures of all the BS you run into during the swap!

Make sure the add fluid plug unscrews before you drain the old stuff
Dont forget plenty of synthetic grease for the CV joints and input shaft.

I will! Well, I'm hoping there wont be any problems but I don't want to jinx it!

I wasn't planning on removing the CV joints as such... Just take the hex bolts out and seperate the diff that way. Now this grease for the input shaft, does it have a name? Will the dealer supply it? I'm picking the seals etc up today.

TW*T! Already run into a couple of issues... First being the seals from my diff must be larger than the ones on this open diff. Ordered the ones off mine after looking at realoem when I shoulda ordered the ones from the 735i. Hindsight is a wonderfully annnoying thing.

Just been out and removed the old seals (killing them in the process!). Didn't have a seal pulling tool but I did have a gear puller... That did the trick. Don't even attempt it with a screwdriver, efforts are futile at best.

I'm hoping the dealer will swap the seals over for me as they cost me >£30! Grrrrr.
