Thanks for posting this, well explained process. After watching, I have successfully replaced left and right axle seals on my 2014 Silverado with 210000 km.

Thanks I do these to help people when I can.

Clean the dry lock tite off the threads of the set bolt, and dry the hole for that set bolt with brakes cleaner of any oil film when you are ready to lock tite it on re-assembly.

Great Review thank you 👍🇺🇲 The Vermonter

Agree with the RTV on the seal. I'm doing mine this weekend coming.

I would but it's not my truck and the guy who owned it traded it for a newer ram with air ride suspension. Sometime in the coming months he has me installing a bds 4" lift on it.

Thanks man had the same problem with 2012 Chevy silverado had to use a chisel to move the axle far enough to get the c clip out

Use c clamp on hub and other side of c clamp to where the brake caliper bold hole is on the axle and it will press the axle in far enough to remove/ re install c clip. Had same issue

Good job dude

It's good. We primarily use it for long trips now since my wife has been working from home.

I suspect I have a very small seal leak on my 3500 srw would it better to replace or just keep an eye on fluid level

@BigFrogs4x4

It will need replaced if it's getting anywhere near the brakes. Some states it won't pass inspection. But yes, keep an eye on the fluid level. Rebuilding a rear differential is very expensive.

Great video men, do you know the torque spec for the cross pin bolt?

I'd have to Google it. I have done so many i go by feel. Never had 1 come out. If you can't find it let me know and I will look for it.

So I’m to the point of turning the driveshaft to release the pin and it will not turn more than a few inches in both directions..Any thoughts? Yes i’m in neutral

Put transfer case in neutral if you can. If you have the calipers off don't hit the brake pedal

I have to do this on my 2001 S10. Any idea how much a shop would charge to do it?

It is hard to say. Depends on labor rate and if all goes well. No rust etc. Although I think the s10 is easier.

If charging $70 per hr then 2-3 hr labor. Are they doing 1 side or both. 1 probably closer to 2 hr

No need to put anything on the gasket. I reused mined after a fluid change it is fine.
