SOURCE: 2005 Yukon Front Diff Axle seals

You don't have to remove the whole diff to change the seals, but you will have to seperate it where the shaft meets the carrier housing. There is a clip holding the passenger axle shaft in place that you have to remove to change the seal. The drivers side axle stub can be removed with a little force as there is a spring clip holding that side in.

SOURCE: rear diff leak on yoke of 2000 explorer

Unless you are 'mud-running' this truck, you have more probs than the seal! And if it hasn't been topped up???? OMG The oil plug is on the front right side near the yoke. Your best bet is to get a complete rear axel from a wrecker. It will cost way too much to have bearings and what not replaced! Your best bet is to buy it installed. My quess is under $200!

SOURCE: leaking from the front diff on a 96 s10 blazer

That would depend on where on the diff. the leak is coming from. If its leaking where the driveshaft connects to it, then it's a pinion seal. If it's leaking near the wheels, it's an axle seal, and if it's leaking where the cover is, it's a bad cover gasket. If it's the cover, you can reseal it with RTV gasket maker.

I had a leaking rear diff cover so I dropped the oil and clean the cover and the rear diff where the cover mates up and silconed the cover and reinstalled and then it start leaking out the front of the...

If the seal is leaking, it will need to be replaced, if you have a service manual, it will show you the procedure to replace the seal. DO NOT try to replace the seal without following the proper guidelines as input bearing damage can occur. After the repairs are made, be sure to to clean the vent tube/valve on the diff. to avoid pressure build up that will cause early seal failure, this vent should also be cleaned at every oil change.

Bought 3 mos ago 1997 Outback Limited Ed, 125k. Auto tranny has developed bad leak, can't find source. Also some fluid seems to be going into Differential as I can take out a QT. Drive a bit and it is...

mcdevito75, The tranny has a front pump to pump fluid back and forth to the torque converter, a seal must be leaking fluid into the diff. also the diff, has tranny fluid in front wheel drive cars so tranny fluid in the diff. is normal, Tranny will have to come out to check that front pump, or fron tranny seal.

Rear diff leak on yoke of 2000 explorer

To replace the seal you must pull out the carrier assembly and the pinion gear and install a new crush sleeve if you do it by the book, I have found that if the yoke is removed a new seal installed and the yoke tightened to about 50 foot lbs of torque it is ok, as far as the lube goes there is a plug on the cast case of the diff, it will either be a square drive plug or a large allen plug, fill the diff so you can just touch the fluid with your little finger, don't overfill or the axle seals will start leaking.
