Hello all. While replacing my fuel pump, I realized that I have differential fluid leaking from the pinion area. It is getting slung up onto the floorpan. I assume that this means I have a leaky pinion seal.
I am not sure how easy it is to replace a pinion seal. Is it possible to do this with the differential in the car (remove the driveshaft?) What tools would I need? And are there any other parts required besides the pinion seal itself?
If I do that, should I replace U-joints at the same time?
If it is not possible to do this in the car, then should I rebuild the Trac-Lok at the same time? I mean, I don't want to pull this thing again in a year. Or maybe it's easier to buy a new Trac-Lok unit?
Than you for any advice you may have ...
