rear end seal leak

[Nate Skate]

Oil is leaking from my dana 80 diff. Is coming from seal where driveshaft enters. Can I fix this? does anyone have suggestions? Part no. ?

The only tricky part is getting the pinion flange off. Torque spec is 450 ft lbs. Yes 450 - not a typo.

Mark the nut's relationship to the pinion shaft. Use a big impact. You need a puller to remove the flange. Change the seal. When you reinstall the pinion flange nut, turn it just a touch past where it was. This is how I did mine. My friend whose shop I was able to borrow part of (A drive on lift) just shakes his head at me and says "Glad my customers don't have stuff this big". #ad
