Hi Guys
Yes, I am going to replace all the seals, the outer visible seals and any inboard O-rings. I will still be using sealant on the splines to stop the oil getting down to the roll pin (again),..... if the sealant on the roll pin ever fails, then it can be dealt with without dropping the shafts off (again).
It was just an opportunity to do the modification when I had to take the adapters off to clean and re-apply the sealant. Hopefully I won't have to take a set of Allen Keys on every journey.
I realise it is a bit of over-engineering; I had a car years ago that had a bad habit of dropping prop shafts, the oil/grease was interfering with the threadlock on the bolts, my stomach churned on every long journey.
Thanks for the feedback.
