Default S2 driveshafts removal and refitting

taking both driveshafts off the Series two tomorrow and have a few questions.

Should i remove them one at a time so the lsd doesn't move?

What do i need to renew when i refit them? i.e hub nuts,

Is there anything else i could be replace while i'm at it? i.e. Driveshaft oil seals etc.?

Can anyone reccomend anything to clear up all the oil its going to piss all over the floor

Cheers

Pete

Refitting a driveshaft is a bit like making love to a beautiful woman…....make sure you line it up with the hole, then ram it home

Personally I didn’t bother replacing the driveshaft oil seals and its been alright.

Oil can be drained from the fifth gear locking pin. However, if you change the shafts fast, almost nothing (~1dl) will come out.
