Looks like you're doing just fine.
One more tip. When you come to slide the drive shafts back in, do the short one first. It's generally easier and gives you a practice run. The long side can sometimes be a bit of a pig. You need to get the end of the shaft to levitate in the axle so that it goes into the diff. All without stuffing up the new oil seal.
Thanks Chris. Hmm that sounds like that bit in Yoga when they tell you to raise both knees off the floor . As I cleaned up the bits this evening I wondered at how little there was to support the shafts until everyting is bolted together. Left me worrying about the seals. i shall do the short shaft first, as you suggest, and think about finding a way to support the long shaft, such that it does not crush the seal, while I get the rest of the bits in place.
