Tiptronic axle drive flange removal

Tiptronic axle drive flange removal

I have a slight gear lube leak coming from the axle drive flange on my Tiptronic (2001 Boxster S). Need technical advice on axle drive flange removal so I can replace the seal. It appears from the differential diagram that the splined axle drive flange is held in by a small wire ‘C-ring’. Question: does the axle flange just pop out when evenly pried out from the case, or is there a special removal process? Also, should the C-ring be replaced? Thanks for the assistance.

Never done this on a Tip but I would be surprised if it was different from the 6-speed. For a 6-speed thread a bolt into the flange until it contacts the case & starts to pull the flange out thread a 2nd bolt on the opposite side of the flange to press out more evenly. C-ring should be replaced. If Tip & 6-speed part # is the same for clip & flange then R&R procedure is probably the same.
