Hey all,
My front differential started leaking from the RF seal where the axle meets the differential about 2 months back. I've been keeping it topped off, but it's kind of an annoying issue I'm hoping to tackle before winter comes.
Tore it down with a buddy the other weekend and got all the way down to the seal only to realize it's held on via a clip inside the differential. This was a frustrating and fruitless day to say the least.
Anyone else done this job? If so, what's the best way to get the front differential opened up so I can release the clip? What other tools and stuff will I need to tear down to get that far?
