now ive got the flange off the pinion moves up down and sideways is this normal or is there dramas lurking there that i should attend to

After a few failed attempts myself I got this done by Fred Smith and only now- after 6 years it is starting to weep. It looks from above your next seal will fail pretty quickly, so I would look into it further.

Unlikely to be the same seal, Landrover quote completely different parts numbers:

AEU2515 for the rear salisbury & FRC8220 for the rover front. Genuine seal for the salisbury is a crappy leather jobbie. There is an alternative proper seal that I *think* is AAU3381/2 which does a much better job. Call Karcraft in Sydney, they'll have them all in stock and get them out to you overnight.

how about measurements i rang the dude and he gave my this OD 80.26m
ID 47.62

now cause i mangled the seal getting it out the OD i cant get but the ID i just measured the flange and the seal is a little smaller which will do the job

now that pn i gave him AAu3381 brought up the seal he is getting me go figure
