Gonna be doing the front seals in my truck soon, does anybody maybe have some good tips, pics, or should I def. order a factory manual before I get into this?

Thanks

The drivers side is a walk in the park, but the passenger side is a real PITA! You have to drop the diff out just about and then remove the right side cast iron portion then remove a c-clip that retains that axle into the axle disconnect. The drivers side stub just pops out and the seal is right there.

Ok great cause the driver side is the one really leakin, but I wanted to replace both.
