Rear Diff leak
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:31 am
Hello all,
I am guessing over the last week or so the sealant on my rear diff has decided to let go. I have read over the manual and it seems like a full day of backyard mechanics. Has anyone ever done this before? Any tips or tricks?
My plan is to drain the oil, drop the drive shaft, undo the bolts holding it on. Clean any old sealant off and any other crud. reseal and bolt it all back up. Or does anyone know if I have to pull the drive shafts to reseal it?
Thanks,
Russell
