So a few miles ago I vacuum pumped the front diff fluid out and poured in some new stuff. I had a few half bottles and a new bottle left over from helping a friend. I opted to leave the cover on as I didn't want to make a big mess and figured replacing 95% is better than nothing. I did the work at a slight incline (nose up) which is where I normally park the truck.
Now the passenger side is leaking out of the tube, 3" wide stain on the concrete. Is this because I might have slightly overfilled the axle? It's still parked at the nose-up angle. The dust seals are completely shot and I realize that's not the problem. Can I drive like this and check the fluid? I haven't used 4x4 since January.
Thoughts?
And if I were to replace those inboard seals, how much fun would it be?
Any help with part #'s would be much appreciated. As far as a parts list, I think I'll need:
Inner seals
Outer dust seals
Large hub seal that is pressed on
Yellow o-ring
U-joints & ball joints if I'm feeling crazy.
