Hello,
I'm hoping for some input on the difficulty of replacing the front diff outer oil seals. Possibly replace anything else needed while I'm in there (other seals, gaskets, etc...).
I have a 97 T100, 4x4, 3.4L with high mileage (190K). I noticed the other day when I was changing the oil that there is oil leaking from the right side front diff where the side gear shaft enters the diff housing. I am assuming that its the outer oil seal that is the problem. I would rather do the work myself but I wasn't sure how difficult this repair would be or how much a shop would charge. I have tools, although would need to get some of the special tools like the oil seal puller, etc... I am determined, have know-how, and I prefer to do the work myself so I can learn rather than paying someone else to do it.
I have done google searches and forum searches and haven't found much on this topic, sorry if I missed something and am re-posting.
Let me know if any more info is needed to help with input, I can also post some pics it they help too.
Thanks again,
Shane
