Rear pinoin seal and rear axle seals leaking on 06 explorer

[noladanj83]

I have a 2006 Explorer xlt and i was wondering just how hard the job is to do my self. I have fairly good wrenching skills as I prefer to do all the work on my own cars to save $$$ but this looks like it my be a difficult task. Plz any help would be great. O yah and it has independent rear supsion with the AdvanceTrac

the job is nearly identical to the front. If you have ever replaced front axle seals then you can handle the rear seals on your explorer. The pinion seal will be the same as any other. The big thing that gets overlooked a lot on this job is the vent tube. Usually when all the seals are leaking on a diff it is caused by a plugged vent tube
