To change a rear pinion seal?

Post by Monk »

Has anyone ever changed one? The drive shaft seal....some YouTube videos show that basically people mark nut/pinion shaft/yoke so all lines up.....but that's on Chevys ....my rear end was almost dry, sooooo I topped up and realized it leaks when I going down bigger angle....and I'd say on hwy also.... I see a Few drops in a spot when i park,,, I can see its from the front of pinion...

Is this a semi easy job? Can you get away with just removing rear drive shaft also? Anything fancy required to do this job?

easy job. Remove rear drive shaft off diff,undo the pinion nut. Pull the yoke off, pull seal with a pry bar or 2 self drilling screws--then pry on screw heads.REplace the seal,yoke and torque the nut. Replace drive shaft and secure.
 
A common but not too often job.Side output seals are a tad more difficult.
