CRUD, another hard to fix leak. Front diff.

Post by todds112 »

Leaking out of the front of the front differential. Looking at the manual I'm guessing it's either the seal in the lower pinion for the drag link, or the whole cover. Either way I'm assuming the whole front end has to be pulled off. :evil:

Those castle nuts at the drag links look like they'll be really fun to get off. Anyone done this?

What can't things be easy? :roll:

You must remove the nose piece to replace the pitman arm seals , takes around 3-4 hours. Leave the bumperettes attached to the nose piece.
