Good deal

I was pulling a drivers side axle shaft to replace a bad u joint and the inner axle seal pulled out with the axle shaft. So here we are getting ready to pull the carrier. Great video.

I had the exact same thing happen with my '01 F250. It was a fight getting that axle shaft guide and seal out of the tube with them stuck on the axle shaft. I'm taking my time and putting everything back together correctly in the hope that I'll never have to do this again.

Everything you're doing to that front-end, I need done to my truck, except for the inner seals and i have all the parts including all the steering components by Moog, all made in USA. Brother, I wish I didn't live so far from you my friend, lol, there are no mechanics near me that i would trust to do the quality work that you do Dre. I'm a little on the disabled side but I guess I'll manage to get it done a little at a time. Awesome work and I always enjoy your videos!!! 👍👍 Jay.

Great video. Thank you. I did not know the inner seals were setup like that. One of mine is leaking badly, so you made my life easier just now without a doubt! Thank you!

@@AutomedicGarage Exactly. Not one. I double checked because it seemed unlikely. 🤷‍♂️ I've not had any problems with it at all, except the leaking seal, so I guess it's all good. Lol ✌

Rule of thumb for youtube videos if the truck is on a lift never trust the guy when he says its a easy repair process

It can be done on jack stands just gonna be sitting on your ass and not in a roll chair.

Thanks pimpin

good video, I forgot to ask to have the front diff lube changed when the front U-joints were replaced .... oh well, another day.

nice work. i've just had the passenger side inner seal replaced twice and immediately leaking again, wondering if the mechanic is over driving the seal or wth...

There is a commonly available tool that interfaces with 1/2” drive extensions to drive that seal to the proper depth. It’s cheap and is worth having when you work on these trucks a lot.

Yep, however I’ve never had an issue using my seal driver and making sure not to over drive it. Thanks though

Do you have a link for this tool?

Is that a racin pry bar?

Im replacing my u joint on the pass side right now. There was a little bit of dampness in there, but nothing crazy. Im hoping that doesnt mean seal time.

@@AutomedicGarage looks like gear oil. Not a lot. The shaft wasn't soaked. Potentially dripped off the shaft end as I pulled it out.

I’ve actually never had to replace one, I’m sure they are. Dana spicer is pretty good with their parts and finding them. Their quality is always top notch also.

Did you have to use any tool to check the backlash after reinstalling the diff?

Yea I used my dial indicator just to double check it but all shims were placed back on their corresponding sides so no change was made. Good idea to check but not mandatory.

It’s out of a seal driver set I have not sure of the size but harbor freight sells a decent set that’s similar looking to what I have.

Are there more steps if it's a limited slip diff?

There’s a lip. I referenced looking at the old one, it’s set right at the level of the small lip.

Shims are behind the bearings on Dana axles. Figure a mechanic would know this lol

Yes pinion shims are behind the pinion bearing, carrier shims sit right behind each carrier race. I didn’t remove the pinion therefore I obviously was not talking about pinion shims. Factory setups don’t always have carrier shims depending on the setup. I’ve torn several originals down with no shims. Figured a armchair mechanic would know this but maybe not.

No shims. FORD perfection 😂.

What I would really like to see is the assembly of these axles going down the line and see how that works with how quick they set them up and get them right to go 300k with that quick of a setup.
