My rear tie arm recently snapped. When it snapped it must have pulled the shaft out of the rear diff because it leaked all its fluid over the road. Fortunately the car was stationary and didn't move with the empty rear diff.
If I am going to change the rear tie bar how tricky is it? Is it pressed into the hub or is it a case of unbolting and fitting a new one or will it need to be done by a garage with a press?
As the rear diff has leaked everywhere does anyone know if the shaft will most likely go back in with a seal? I can't see the damage very well so hoping someone knows how the shafts go into the rear diff.
Thanks
