Front diff seals

[Eric Phillips]

Has anyone replaced the seals in the front differential? Found some oil around end of inner axle. It is on the passenger side. Never did this kind of work before and not sure what all is involved.

Thanks for any help.

Requires taking the axle out, Messing with ball joints, Suspension, and then using a seal installer to do right. The passenger side easier then the driver.

I just did mine while replacing the passenger side of my 2001 4x4. Wasn't really hard at all. I bought the T-shaped bearing puller from Harbor Freight but it was in there tight and it bent the tips while prying. I would recommend getting a quality one to make it easier. I also ages with Todd to very the bearing installer kit.
