the front of the driveshaft slide out of the case after rear disconnect?In addition to the seal are other replacement parts required,Boot, clamp,ect.? |
Re: Transfer case seal
Not familliar with your specific vehicle but I think it's safe to say that
it will slide out. You'll know as soon as you look at it. If there are no clamps or bolts at the front end remove the rear and pull. Before you remove the shaft grab hold of it at the transfer case end and move it up and down. In many cases the seal is worn/leaking because the bushing that the driveshaft yoke turns in is worn. If you detect any amount of appreciable movement replace the bushing along with the seal. There is a tool used to remove the bushing once the driveshaft is off. It is a springloaded type sleeve that slides in in place of the yoke and once in grabs the edge of the bushing. There's a bolt in the centre that tightens against the output shaft and pulls the puller out with bushing as it's tightened. If you don't have one of these tools and can't rent or borrow one you would have to remove the tail housing off the transfer case and remove the bushing with hammer and chisel or the like. No sure what's involved in removal of your tailshaft, but can sometimes be somewhat involved.
