Replacing Rear Axle - tips & tricks?
Hi all,
Due to a leaking axle cover, I opted for a 2nd hand axle. I contacted the dealership and the only solution they have is replacing the rear axle, which was a grand total of 1.700,- Euro. I bought a 2nd hand axle with 6 months warranty for 100 euros
Any tips/tricks which I need to take into account? I will be replacing the ABS ring off course, but any other seals which I need to replace or?
Also, what is the torque setting for the axle nut?
Thanks in advance!

I think I need to review what I typed down haha (Im not an native english speaker) 
. Let me try this again: I need to replace one of the rear axles (from the rear differential to the wheel hub), what you posted is the complete rear axle
