well c i noticed when i took off my transmisson my rear seal was leaking. how do i replace the rear seal. do i have to take off the drain pan or can i just pry it out? please let me know asap.
Thanks

 

Not sure with these engines. Sometimes you can just pry it out and pop in the new one. Other times you have to take off the drain pan.

Depending on the mileage of your truck, You might take off the pan anyways and clean it out real well.

Go buy the seal, Looking at its shape will tell you all you need to know.

 

well the shape isnt bad it only has 40000 miles on it but the person before was rough on it and is it a pain to get the drain pan off, do u have to pull on it real hard?

 

oh yeah if u need 2 know which engine it is the 4.7 not the hemi

 

At 40K miles, I wouldn't bother pulling the pan if I didn't have to. Go purchase a new seal from and autoparts store, You should be able to tell how it goes in by the shape, That will tell you if you need to pull the pan or not. Im leaning towards not.

If not, Get your self a pick, Carefully use the pick to jam into the old seal. Be very careful to not scratch the surrounding area, And pull the old seal out. Put the new seal in using the old seal as a block to tap against the new one, Make sure it is secure and your good to go.

Again this is general info, I know very little about the 4.7 engines.

 

ok ill try that tomorrow. thanks for ur help. if there is anyone else with somemore information please let me know.
