No. Depending on the angle you’re parked at you might lose a bit but you can just top it up if so. No need to drain the transfer box.

Ok, thanks for your info

Think that picture is the 300tdi setup, 200tdi should be with the expander and adjuster on the left & right.

What did you struggle with? Was it getting the nut off, or pulling the flange off after removing the nut?

The flange can sometimes be a bit of a tight fit so may need tapping or even easier with a puller. There should be minimal oil loss, expect some, but no need to drain the box completely.

Yes, the picture I shared earlier was obtained from another forum.

The one I took myself wasn’t very clear, but I’ve uploaded it now—please have a look.

I’m struggling with the nut, as it’s very difficult to remove. So I was wondering, is there a circlip around it, or any clip that prevents the nut from moving?

thank you.

You can put some sort of bar above and below two bolts and turn the flange so the bar then jams against the chassis. It will probably bend the bolts and mash up the threads though, so you’ll need some new ones.

Put it in diff lock, first gear. Putting the drum back on and pulling the handbrake on might also help.

A 2’ long breaker bar should undo it, but if it’s not been off for a long time it may need an impact wrench or longer bar.

When refitting the oil seal is fitted flush with the casing or pushed in till it bottoms out?

I want to know this too, waiting for someone experienced to answer.
