Need help ordering parts

[BennyM]

I'm going to attempt an output shaft seal replacement because mine is leaking. The write-up on Bruno's site says I need "New self locking nuts for output flange/flex and final drive flange." I was hoping somebody here could help me find the proper nuts and the actual seal gasket using this ETK picture. I've never done anything with the drive shaft before. Any other bits of advice would also be much appreciated. Thanks.

I can't really find a better schematic of where the drive shaft meets up with the tranny.

it's a good chance it's 12 that's leaking, it's the most common pisser on the back of a bimmer manual tranny

How difficult is it to replace? And should I replace #11 while I'm down there? Thanks.

it's a bit of a pain in the ass, while your there you may as well do 11
