Need to replace Getrag rear seal and spicer 70 pinion seal, HOW HARD????
I have a leak at the output of my getrag and since I'm running Royal Purple i dont want all that money dripping out on the road, so how difficult is it to swap seals?
My rear diff pinion seal is leaking too and I hate the way it slings oil everywhere. How difficult is it to change this seal?
Thanks for any help!!!!!

That thread does not say it, but you should really replace the nut. It is a stover style style lock nut and they don't grip as well after they are removed and reinstalled years later.

A year after redoing my Dana, the pinion seal started leaking. It was a steady leak. I eventually discovered that the vent was plugged. I now check this whenever I service the truck. It is very important that the vent be clear as moisture accumulates in the gear oil and on the first long trip in the spring the vapour pressure will force gear oil out past all seals.

Maybe I should check the getrag vent line too, it could be blocked also causing it to leak.
