2007 Sierra Denali Axle Seal Replacement
Guys,
My mechanic (Toyota tech) said that there is a special tool to do the axle seals on these AWD system. Can you confirm? If so, where can I get this tool?
Are there any write-ups/videos???
This is a 2007 Denali with the 6.2L, 6sp trans.
TIA

Front axle seals shouldnt need any special too.
I just know they are more of the pain to on 07+ because you have to take the CV axles out. And the passenger side you have to take part of the front diff apart and re-install.
There should be youtube video's on it to show if anything else is neeeded.

Thanks for the reply. I've searched up and down to find an axle seal instruction video with no luck! Do you happen to know where one is off hand??? Most I've found were standard 4wd seals which I believe are different than the AWD? Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Thanks again!!!
Thanks again!!!

Put a 4x4 into 4HI and now it's an AWD truck, there is no difference.
Only thing that is different is the gear ratio's that can be inside the diff's and the fact that a 4x4 can be a 2wd truck 95% of the time.
That basics on how it's done for the drivers side.

jack the truck as high as possible
remove the front wheels
remove the front strut assembly 3x 18mm nuts on top and 2x 15mm bolts from the bottom and pry the lower arm down to get it out of there , now you have enough room to unbolt the 6x 15mm bolts and move the axle out of the way
now once you have enough clearance take block of wood and hammer and knock the stub shaft out of the differential housing its only held in with a snap ring
now pry out the old seal and tap in the new one
re-assemble and congratulate yourself for saving some $$$$
dont forget to top off the fluid once its back on the ground and
level
