Fair play if it's your first go pal! When splitting them I usually leave wheels on, pipe over pto shaft and one on each wheel to roll her apart, but I'm not usually removing the diff? Was there anything wrong with the crown wheel and pinion? The seal that is broke is like a tefflon and when you put the new one in, fill the groove with Vasalene to stick them in when you re-assemble. Follow the book and you'll be grand!
