Driveshaft Removal & Oil Seal Replacement | Renault Megane RS250 

Glad it helped ! The job would have been much more painful had the car been weathered. Can't imagine.

Glad I could help

Thank you ! Hopefully one day !

@@phillpana Where are you based?

Hey Mate, I've since sold the car however no visible leaks from that same spot in my ownership after doing this job.

You can lightly tap it with a rubber hammer whilst pulling away from the car. Never done the left side before but can't imagine it being different to the right? If it is, however try squit in some WD-40 past the seal. You will be flushing the oil anyway so shouldnt cause harm . Good luck !

@phillpana yeh im doing the clutch tomorrow or monday, heats crazy to be outside.. but yeh gona try something tho, probably just need to wedge something in and hammer it out.

See 9:40 in the video as I show the official instructions from Renault. The white tube is not needed as it is just there to protect the seal during install. I couldn't find a good way to cut it therefore I suggest removing it before install. If left on it may cause the seal to leak like mine did.

@@phillpana I see, I definitely had my doubts. Looking at the structure, there's no point in leaving the white tube. Renault sometimes does things that we don't understand :)

@@phillpana Just to be sure, I looked it up in the service manual. tadaup.jp/22353b94c.jpg If the shaft has a groove, just slide it and fit it into the groove. It is written that if the shaft does not have a groove, it should be destroyed. In any case, you won't need the tube in the end. At the end of the day, the tube is just a jig...Renault is interesting!

just released a video to explain this

Great video mate! Found it very useful as have to replace both shafts on my own. Thanks

Some workshops are even refusing to work on them due to the fact they can get more money easier by avoiding f...ng with them.
