ML 320 Rear Differential Seal
Need some help - I'm trying to remove and replace the rear differential seal. I'm specifically referring to the rear differential seal after the rearmost u-joint, post flange - this is a 1998 ML320 BTW.
I have removed the four sixteen millimeter bolts and nuts and now I have a massive 32mm nut mounted over a semblance of a locking tab washer. This 32mm nut, it ain't budgin', I'm about to to resort to a shaped-charge and blast it off but I'm worried about collateral damage to the C43, j/k.
Has anyone tackled this job in the past? HELP!!!

No one???
No one on this forum has EVER done this job? Kinda find it hard to believe, come on fellas....need a little insight on this one. This bolt ain't budgin' and I don't want to cause damage to other drivetrain components. Anyone have a WIS diagram on the parts breakdown?
