Title: Leaking rear diff
Post by: Mike WJUK on March 28, 2006, 09:25:16 PM

Noticed after trip to Tong the other weekend that the prop seal on the rear diff is weeping slightly.
 Can anyone tell me how hard a job it is to replace?

It's straightforward but you must mark the pinion nut, yoke and pinion so that when you reassemble, you tighten the nut back to it's original position in order to preserve the pinion bearing preload.
