Slapping & Spider differential leak

[John Turvill <John.Turvill@domain.elided>]

Perez,
Can you  (or anyone else) share some more details on replacing the
differential drive shaft seal?
Looks like mine has started to leak and the manual doesn't really enlighten
one as to what you need to disassemble and what parts you need. Also who
sells the seal?
Tks
