Subject: Pinion oil seal
Help!! I got ambitious and decided to replace my propeller shaft
u-joint and the leaking pinion oil seal on my 76 1500. Following all
steps in the repair/op manual I have the nut, washer, and diff pinion
flange off w/o too much problem. At this point I'm supposed to be able
to pry out the old seal but I find that it is covered by some sort of
protective metal covering that looks to be an integral part of the diff
mounting plate. I don't have another spit to compare against so I'm in
a bind. Is there a removable protective cover over the seal or do I
actually have to remove that entire mounting plate to get to that oil
seal? This situation doesn't seem to be covered in any of the manuals
I've got on hand.
