NOTE
Replacement procedures for right and left front differential output
shaft seals are basically the same. This procedure covers the left
side output shaft seal.
a. Removal
1.
Remove locknut (12), washer (11), capscrew (9), and washer (8) from suspension crossmember (10).
Discard locknut (12).
2.
Remove locknut (6), O-ring (5), and output flange (4) from output shaft (14). Discard locknut (6) and
O-ring (5).
3.
Remove four capscrews (7) and brake adapter (3) from differential (13).
4.
Remove output shaft seal (1) from differential (13).
b. Installation
1.
Using axle shaft and seal installer (2), install output shaft seal (1) on differential (13).
CAUTION
Apply a liberal amount of thread sealing compound to the tapped
holes of differential. To allow adequate coating of threads, install
capscrews shortly after applying thread sealing compound. Failure
to comply may allow capscrews to loosen and cause damage to
differential.
2.
Apply sealing compound to tapped holes of differential (13). Install mounting bracket (3) on
differential (13) with four capscrews (7). Tighten capscrews to 125-150 lb-ft (170-203 Nm).
