When I replaced my front ujoints when I put in the passenger side axel I must of messed up the seal slightly.

Anyways... I just noticed that it is leaking, not a whole lot but enough to notice.
What is involved with replaceing the seal? Its so far in there I wouldent have an idea how to do it/get to it.

Would it be something that a normal shadetree mechanic could do or would it need to be tooken to the shop?

Thanks.

 

doable - but looks like an all day job to me. you have to make a seating tool out of threaded rod for the passenger side.

take a lesson from me. before you even take anything apart make sure the 4 bolts on the CAD unit come off or loosen up. the CAD is located half way down the passenger side of the front axle. square looking thing attached to the axle. i took my entire passenger side apart to just have those 4 bolts shear off on me. still leaks but i just keep adding oil every now and then

 

can you drill out the broken cad bolts, and remove with an ease out, or maybe a full drill out and retap ????
