Looks like a 'fun' job swapping these things! Looks like time for new seals too. Oh, and that sway bar link looks a bit dry... While I'm in there... :-P  |
Your seals look intact, there is no diff lekage...
Changing them isnt a bad idea, but ...
You need 2 quarts of diff oil to change them, good idea to replace the diff mount at same time... it needs to drop for the axle swap anyway. I use 75w140 synthetic oil in my diffs.
REMOVE THE FILL PLUG BEFORE YOU TAKE ANYTHNG APART!
you dont want to drain it all down, then be unable to get the fill plug loose...
CLEAN the 14mm allen drain bolt out EXTREMELY well, and soak it in aerokroil or pb-blaster overnight.
Get a HIGH QUALITY 14mm allen socket for the job.
Everything else is just take apart, pull clips, take out bolts raise and lower stand on head stick tounge out etc...
