ecc_33 08-10-2005, 10:05 PM How hard is it to replace a left rear wheel seal. Maybe someone could give me some pointers or step by step instructions Do i need any special tools??? If so what are they ecc_33 08-10-2005, 10:10 PM i also have the 100,000 mile warranty my truck has 57,000 on it would that be covered ADub 08-11-2005, 09:45 AM If you are talking about the 5/100 warranty on the engine, then no. If you have an extended warranty on the truck, then yes. See the thread just below on replacing axle seals. akdiesel 08-21-2005, 05:27 AM ecc 33, Out of curriousity, have you ever changed you diff fluids? Reineke 08-21-2005, 05:34 AM Changing the seal yourself would require the axle to come out. You have to remove the C-clip from the axle shaft and getting to it can be trickey if never been done before. A Chiltons manual or Helms covers this easily with pictures. You may need a slide hammer to remove present seal. Not a bad job, but if it were covered by warranty, then they are the ones who should be doing it. On edit, if you do one, you should do both since you have everything out and open. Removing the second axle after the first is out is a snap. Doubt the warrenty coverage would cover than unless you found a cool dealer who reported that both were bad. idahofox 08-21-2005, 11:01 AM Changing the seal yourself would require the axle to come out.

Do a search, another thread takes you step by step. Here, I did it for you. (http://dieselplace.com/forum/showpost.php?p=655777&postcount=2) Fox Reineke 08-21-2005, 07:46 PM Wow! Looks like things have changed up a bit lately. Gone are the C-clip days I guess. (For the HD's) Thanks for correcting me! ecc_33 08-22-2005, 12:02 PM yeah i did change the diff fluid lately. Yeah you just have to unbolt the axles and pull them out | ||
