My rr. wheel seal is starting to leak,I saw it while doing rear brakes. Does anyone know if you need any special tools to change the seal ? Do I have to take apart something @ the dif.? or does it pull out from the outside by removing the bolts @ the hub ? I can do most things but unsure about this one. I am laid off & need to watch every penny, if I can do it myself it would sure help.:confused:

I think there is something on that in the do it yourself section. dave

glad i'm not the only one to have this happen this week. except i was kinda forced into to mine right away cuz the parking brakes got coated and started to stick. And lets just say it got interesting when there is black smoke coming from the wrong side of the truck.
