msmithmmx Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Not that it is difficult, but time consuming. The engine or the trans needs to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohieu Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Are you talking about the rear main seal or the pinion seal for the rear differential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocrest Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Or the seal where the driveshaft goes into the transmission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 And, to further complicate matters, it can leak between the flange and the pinion shaft, where there is no seal. A little silicone under the nut seems to do the trick here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
