   they should have them in stock the lazy bastards!
   
   try somewhere else, the short shaft uses the larger one, long engine side shaft is smaller.

   I bought some last week as I'm doing mine. The part numbers are 312144 & 312146 if you need them.
   
   I got them off a parts place on eBay, I was going to get Citroen ones but I didn't fancy paying £28

    My local place is shit if you want anything other than a service kit. Next nearest place is Europarts and its 20 mile away. Just easy ordering online and getting it pushed through the door.

    Only ever fit genuine seals. I pay about £8 each at Citroen. Worth it in my book.

    I rang citroen and the bloke said £28 inc VAT for both seals and after buying driveshafts, clutch and new gearbox oil the bank account said no. Just had to get them for £8.00

    The teeth turn in the seal itself, just helps keep the seal shape when it's fitted and the shafts turning.
    
    I just got them as its what they had in. Don't think it'll make any difference to how the seal will perform.

    they're the same part number, not specific to the ax.

    Ive read they protect the seal itself from when you push the shaft in and through it but you'd probably have to be pretty ham fisted to damage a normal one when fitting shafts mind you
