Gotta leaking oil seal on my left front bevel gear case. Oil seeps and drips down onto the inside of the left front tire while she's sitting.
I'm getting ready to replace the oil seal/change the front axle oil and would like to solicit any advice about the process.
From the looks of things in the shop manual, it looks like I need to remove the left bevel case from the axle case, remove knuckle arm, axle flange mounting bolts, external snap ring, remove the bevel gear case from the front gear case, remove the shaft and then the ball bearing.
My question is, do I really need to remove the bevel gear case from the front axle case in in order to get this seal replaced? The seal I'm after is one between the bevel and front gear cases, left side. It looks like I can get this by seperating the front gear case from the bevel case, while leaving the bevel case attached to the axle case.
Any takers?
Thanks, guys!
