So my ford was leaking fluid heavily out of rear passenger side. Notice diff breather was heavily blocked.. Fixed the seals on both sides and while under there i noticed the pinion seal had a leak...OK FIX IT
got it all off & new seal in; problem is there is a plastic thing on the back side of the flanged that seems attached to it?? in any case it looks like no matter what i do I can not get that piece to flush up against the new seal there is a gap 1/16. SO THE NEXT issue! my drunk neighbor while trying to flush up the two pieces managed to strip the nut so now i can barely get it on without it getting really tight
IS the both pieces supposed to fit flush?
DEALERS are closed and need my truck. What other vehicles at a junk yard can i look for? I cant find a 2002 Explorer anywhere! its limited slip 8.8 gear
PLEASE HELP
Doug
