I had a cursory look at mine while the gearbox was out. They seemed quite solind in the box, I sort of suspected that they would be inserted from the inside of the gear box, so I left well alone!

see page 21 of the gear box manual.
LOL for those that know, all the pages are marked as "21", so I guess that is the manual number.

Just after 1/2 way through there is a page titled "DIFFERENTIAL SEALS Replacing". it says yo need some special tools, maybe you can hire them from a renault stealer for the price of a few bottles of liguid refreshment.

It will be a lot easyier to see (and do) once the box it out I guess.
