Should I leave them alone?
I hardly ever hear a leak from these 2 O-rings.
PS: helped a friend replace the 2004 X3 E83 Front Diff
a few years ago, and I am trying to avoid removing th
Front Diff.

Not sure about the e83 front diff, but the e53 is painful to get in and out. I’ve got a very slow weep somewhere along the mating surface of the two half’s, and am ignoring it. I thought I could shortcut Bentley when I did the motor swap and sneak the diff in after the motor was in….nope. Motor has to come up a bit and subframe needs to drop a few inches.
