What you are doing by blipping the throttle is exciting he alternator, which then causes the alternator to work.

| Just to add to that, I don't think I have ever changed a diff pinion seal without needing to change the flange as well. The first one I did on a 2.4 petrol 110 I went to the local dealer for the seal ... |
