Still relatively new to Land Rovers. I had a leaky pinion seal and followed the steps in the green bible and other manuals to replace it: disconnected the prop shaft from the flange, removed cotter pin, nut, washer, drive flange, and mud shield. I next expected to encounter the faulty seal but instead encounterd a metal ring with a leather seal behind it. My understanding is that this is an old seal and the metal ring is there to hold the leather seal in place and the metal ring is to be pried out carefully. I could not get the metal ring to move however I was able to get behind it with a pair of needle nose pliers and remove the leather seal (there was also a circular spring). I still need to remove the metal ring and am at a loss as to how to get it out. It won't budge. Anyone have any experience with this and would care to share some tips and wisdom as to how to remove it?
Thanks
