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!

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...

I have a 97 f350 7.3. My axle tubes look dry but they do have a little rust and debris in them. Ideas on how to best clean them and maybe treat the rust

@AutomedicGarage 15 сағат бұрын

@@seitzwoodworking5102 only way I e ever cleaned the tubes is when the axles are pulled and I have the carrier removed. Use brake clean and large engine brushed to clean the tubes.

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

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.

Was it gear oil of moisture from water

@adamtedder1012 Ай бұрын

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

@Banshee365 10 ай бұрын

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.

@AutomedicGarage 10 ай бұрын

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

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?

@AutomedicGarage 6 ай бұрын

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.

Do you happen to know what the backlash readings are supposed to be? I'll be doing the same work on my truck.

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.

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

@AutomedicGarage 4 ай бұрын

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.
