Ok. First drama from my seal replacement.
Driveshaft off, bagged up and tied out the way
Blue sealing cap off
Circlip off
Joint Flange off (with a bit of tugging)
So far so good, however the thrust ring (Bently fig 6-1 #15) was "stuck" to the joint Flange in a ball of grease and came out with the joint Flange and fell on the floor. My question is, shouldn't this thrust ring be behind the old seal and not have come out yet?
Everything is covered in slime, so I will clean it up and hopefully get a good look.
