Just started to replace the earth strap from haldex to body, just wondering...the bolt that holds the earth into the diff housing. Once removed will oil come out? As it looks like its one of the many bolts that holds the outer casing on?
Thanks in advance peeps

Mate just try it, if oil starts coming out just tighten it back up lol.
Is not just a bolt around the drive shaft flange? I very much doubt and oil will come out, and even if it did it can only be a tiny bit as you are only whipping the bolt out and then putting it back in are you not.
Don't worry nothing will happen
All done now anyway dude cheers though. Nah nothing came out, apart from a bit a crap that fell in my eye. Then twa**ed my head on exhaust clamp. Haha.

So just a universal one then, mint.
Guessing your old one was knackered then?
I bought the insulated version... has gold plated connectors and similar price (although I did buy one that was probaly too long...)

Yeah mine was snapped in half at the body end. Rest of it was really brittle too tbh.

One I brought was perfect length. Don't think that really matters though. Long as it doesn't sag and rub on rear driveshaft
