Rear axle oil seal on 2016 Wildtrak

[Wildtraking1NY]

Hi all, I have a Wildtrak 2016 and need to change the rear axle oil seals. I have seen a YouTube video that shows a Ranger going through something similar but that vehicle has the removal diff cover which you have to take off to get to a circlip. My Ranger has the diff cover welded on. Anyone know if I need to get into the diff to facilitate removing the oil seals or can it all be done from the hub?
Cheers

Almost all of this forum's members are from North America, with the 2.3L EcoBoost 2019-2023 Ranger that shares very little with the ROW (Rest Of the World, from our perspective) Ranger. You'd likely find much more relatable information for your truck on a UK, EU, ZA or AU forum/group page for Rangers than this one.

Many thanks for the response. Much appreciated. Good to be connected with Ranger owners wherever they are, even if my 3.2L truck does not cut it here.

Don't misunderstand me, I've never said your Ranger and you are not welcome, just letting you know that this forum is likely not your best option for technical data about your ROW Ranger. We have a few other ROW Ranger members here, and most of us drool all the time at the different trims (WildTrak, StormTrak, Raptor, Thunder) out there that Ford didn't bring home to us with the return of the Ranger.
