Replacing a Differential (rear end) Seal

Replacing a differential seal has to be done right, else the bearings and gears can be damaged. And after the seal is replaced, it's a good idea to investigate the reason it failed.

Thanks, guy! We try!

Well, you're right - sort of - but it has been years and the nut is still tight. I inspect that car once a month :)

[McCuistian]

Wow, thanks for the comment... LOL. It's explosive.

Yes, you can replace just the spider and axle gears - they're available separately and are quite simple to change. Just make sure you flush all metal particles out of the differential.

[McCuistian]

No. That's what counting the turns is all about...
