after a lot of searching I've not run across many threads from people who have changed there own NCV3 differential pinion seals but plenty who have tackled the job on their T1N's.
Has anyone performed this replacement on their 2007+ Sprinter? How hard was it and how many miles since the repair?
I wish someone would say the repair is simple, such as mark the position of the yoke to shaft, count number of turns when removing the nut and reinstall in the same manner (to achieve same bearing pressure that was present before the removal).
This video makes you want to be cautious; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofiLUo0aWqM
Makes me wonder how many times we would take it to the shop and have the dealer put the van back together with the new seal and have the drag torque measurement off and sell a new differential/rear end?
If you have time to look through the other videos found on that youtube channel, there are some that relate to Sprinters.
