Replacing Front Differential Seals
Aynone ever done this ? Both output shaft seals are leaking, do I need special tools for this ? Seal are only $10 a piece.

It is normal for these seals to leak slightly....a dripping condition would reqire the replacement but if these just create an oil dampness in this area it is not necessary to replace... my seals started to indicate an oil film/ dust at about 20,ooomi and now at 120,000mi same condition also as temps change the oil seepage varies...
what is important at the checking of your fluids every oil change do you find you need to add ...if so this also would indicate a seal replacement...
filling the gear box is to 1/2 inch below the fill hole and also clean/test the vent for no restrictions as this can also create pressure in the box..
