Hey there fellas,
Was replacing my ball joints on my pickup and since I already had it all apart I thought I go ahead and change out all the seals. Ran into a problem and need some help.

On the left front axle shaft right up against the deferential I replace the seal with a new one (photo4) and wanted to replace the ones that go up against the wheel hub and inside the wheel hub, seems like there are two.(photo1&2) What is the right way of changing these out, seems like its impossible to put new seals on because of the way its put together. I could only think of putting them on by sliding them down the outer shaft but there is a plate there(photo3) that stops me from doing this. Basically, could someone show me how to change these outer seals out with out tearing anything up.

Thanks in advance.

 

WOW!!!!!

Going on 80-90 views and no one has any idea how how to do this?

Well, "cancel my shout out" because after hours of combing through the internet I've found just exactly how to do it. Hope's this helps others by preventing the torturous internet surfing I spend to find this.

There is about 6 threads on this very site that discuss those exact seals and the methods to extract and replace them. Very sorry that after a few hours you became frustrated that you had not received an answer. Guess we should all just sit here and wait for YOUR questions so that we may provide YOU with immediate technical support.

 

Dang, Guess I'm on the wrong forum......is there not a fully staffed 24/7 tech support staff available eating Cheetos with there eye ***** glued to this forum just waiting for the dumbest questions to come up??
