How to Replace Rear Output Drive Shaft Seal in Transfer Case and Transmission
In this video I am replacing leaking drive shaft seal. This process can be used for replacing rear output shaft seal in transfer case and transmission.
Steps to replace drive shaft seal:
Mark the rear universal joint to the drive shaft flange
Remove 4 retaining bolts and clamps
Remove the propeller shaft from the pinion drive flange
Remove the propeller shaft from the transfer case
Remove the seal and install new drive shaft seal
Align the propeller shaft with the reference marks on the pinion flange and reinstall shaft
Finish tightening to your vehicle torque spec for my Hummer H3: 25 N.m (18 lb ft)
After finishing drive shaft install, check Transfer Case fluid level and add if required.
To check Transfer case fluid level:
1. Make sure the vehicle is leveled
2. Remove Transfer case Fill Plug
3. Check Transfer case fluid level
Using a flashlight, check for oil at the fill plug hole. When full, the oil should be just below the hole, or dripping a bit from the hole
Add fluid recommended for your vehicle if required.
When fluid start dripping - reinstall Fill Plug
PLEASE NOTE: 2006 HUMMER H3 and certain models of 2007, the procedure to fill the transfer case is different. You need to fill to fill plug, reinstall fill plug and ADD 250 ML trough speed sensor hole (located in the upper part of the transfer case) In these transfer cases, there is a metal sticker that describe this. The fluid for these transfer case is not Dexron VI. The fluid is GM Part Number: 88861800. And total fill amount is 1.5 liters

Well done! A good recommendation is to use blu threadlocker and mark the bolts on the U-joints; just to be sure after few miles that everything is fixed up. I have to check the seal on the front diff btw.

My old seal was melted to case. What a nightmare getting it off. My U-joint was bad. Probably caused the problem. Also, my heat shield fell off. (Alpha) I see you don't have one in that area.

Wow this is was a well done video. Thank you! Quick question should I put bearing grease in the drive shaft so won't go in dry, or is that's alright?

@NewRoad Ай бұрын

Thanks, you don't have to put any grease. But I don't think it's gonna hurt if you lubricate a bit

Hi , I’ve recently have my transmission rebuilt almost 2 years ago and I’ve been having an issue with the output seal leaking ever since, so I took apart my transmission to take it to a mechanic to work on it just to save money, so I took the task on diy, never work on vehicles and I certainly did not mark any parts as you demonstrated in the video where you was unmounting the driveshaft. So not long ago I was doing research on the internet what could cause a leaking output seal and one of the most commonly issues were an unbalanced driveshaft can cause vibrations causing the seal to fail , so my question was if you could help me on how to get my driveshaft balance back like it was

@NewRoad 6 ай бұрын

Hi, it's hard to guess without looking at it. See if you find any play in shaft on both sides, etc.

@DuPreeinLosAngeles Жыл бұрын

No gasket maker around the perimeter of the seal? No grease on the inner seals edge that make a connection to the spinning and friction forces of the driveshaft? It wobbles as the casehousing bushing that supports the main shaft wears over time also, which makes the seal go bad. Got this advice from my ToyotaVanTech forum's tech "Timsrv." I'm getting ready to do this job on my 1988 Toyota Van Wagon. There's already some slight wobble with mine before I even took the propeller off. So I bought two seals and will see how long this lasts, or have the tranny dropped by my mechanic to fix. I'm getting ready to do this for the first time and I'm here to see another set of instructions especially how the seal puller is used. Have to be careful not to gouge the inner housing.

I suggest putting gasket maker around the seal also I did mine in a couple of months later and started leaking again

During the vehicle manufacturing process, all driveshsharts are balanced to the specific vehicle. I'm sure your driveshaft had a weight attached to the shaft which is done during the balancing process. Think of it like your vehicle's wheels which are also balanced.
