Thanks!

Nice video. You didn't talk much about the axle surface itself unless I missed it. It's not uncommon for these axles to be trash when you pull them out just due to wear. Man I need to buy one of those seal pullers. Way easier than using a cold chisel.

@@limpit_drone6104 Thankfully most parts stores usually have them in stock or can get them quickly if you happen to need one. I wouldn't fret over it too much. I've pulled like 8 of these 8.8 axles over the years and have ran into two bad axles and then my son had a complete axle fail to the point where there was so much play in the axle it ate the seal and then flung gear oil all over the wheel.

What size was the cross pin retainer bolt?

If I remember correctly you need an 8mm wrench to remove that bolt.

Hi I've wasted the whole day trying to find the seal for that specific axle by any chance donyou know the part number?

I recommend going to a place like Rock Auto and entering in your vehicle information to figure it out. There are different variations of the 8.8” axle that require different seals, such as the 28 and 31 spline versions, which have different diameter shafts resulting in different part number seals.

I’ve had that a really long time and can’t seem to find the exact one, but the closest one to it is probably this: www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-Automotive-Flexible-Magnetic-Pickup-Tool/1003096204 Harbor freight also sells a similar one with a light.

If I’m just replacing just the bearings and seals do I have to open the diff at all?

Yes, you still need to. The axle shafts can’t be pulled out unless the C clips are removed, which is done as shown here.

Ok so, maybe you'll have an idea here, it appears I did everything correctly, but the brand new axle seal on my Crown Vic 8.8 is still dumping gear oil from the passenger side hub exactly as it was before

How does the axle itself look? If it has a groove worn around it where the seal rides, it’ll likely leak. There are a couple of options to fix it possibly. There may be repair sleeves available that will press onto the axle shaft, similar to ones offered for crankshaft main seal repairs. Otherwise, a new axle shaft will be needed.

In a real car, those C clips just don't fall off. That's some stupid bullshit right there. This video is bullshit. Edit...that was after 2 hours of fighting with a 2002 GT trying to get the c clips out. Make sure you take the speed sensors out or the axles hit them before they are in far enough to drop the c clips. My bad.

Is this a fake car or something? What do you think it is? I pulled this axle out of a junk yard where it sat for years, and this is how they come out. Sounds like you’re doing something wrong then.

I ran into this issue, on an 8.8 try tapping the axle in further than you can manually push. That did it for me
