Chevrolet Repair: Front axles seals, side seal, thankfull


Question
How to replace the seals on the front differential seals on a 1998 K-1500. They leak coming out of the differential were the axles bolt on. Thankfull for any help.

Answer
THe drivers side seal you just unbolt and lower the axle and knock the flange out and replace the seal.  The pass side you need to unbolt the whole axle tube housing assembly to remove the axle flange.  If you don't a washer slips out of position and you cannot get it back in or if you do the 4wd will not work.
