so what all is involved in changing one out, and how big of a pita is it?
Just pull the driveshaft and remove the yolk can you remove the seal by just doing that?

 

anyone? someone?

 

Short answer is it looks to be a pita to do it correctly. Technically you just need to remove the yoke, pull the old seal, hammer in a new one and re-install the yoke. However it is important to get everything back together in the proper alignment and at the proper torque to maintain the correct preload on the gears. I have never done it though so I am just going on what the service manual says.

 

Hey you wouldnt know what all is needed? I am guessing seal and a crush sleeve or do they have them? Any way you could get me a copy of what the service manual has? thanks

 

damn man, have fun!
do you have an eaton or true trac yet?
If not nows a good time!!!

 

nope neither but I am leaving the front alone as far as a LSD goes. If it was the back it should be a lot easier but as of right now everything is a dealer item. You know anyone that works at a GM place that could get me some pricing on this ****? hey u wanna help change it out? lol

 

Here are some pdf's of the service manual pages. I had to break it into 2 files and zip them to be able to upload them. Hope this helps.

 

for some reason i was thinking of the rear seal. damn. thats even worse
this project calls for a couple 12 packs

 

ya i am have already started well atleast on drinking.lol ya I have a barn and air source that I can use and I will supply some beer? lol so what do ya think

 

hey truckmann thanks for the files you wouldnt happen to have the whole file that you could email me? As in anything for the front diff. thanks again
