I have a leak on the front pinon seal. Where the drive shaft connects to the diff. It drips mayebe three times a night. Is this a hard seal to replace or something i can do in the garage, do I need any specail tools. I have some mechanicle knowledge, so Im not a complete tard lol.
TIA-Jason

It's called a Pinion Seal and if you've got air tools it can be done in the drive way using a hammer and a block of wood.

Just so happens i have air tools, a drive way and a hammer. Will have to get the block of wood though lol. Thanks for the info. I'll probably get a Haynes or Chilton as well.
