Replaced an axle seal at the front differential as well as the o-ring. Hopefully, this will stop the oil leak. If people are going to replace the axle seal, I would suggest that you buy a Genuine Factory seal. The Factory seal comes with a plastic guard that prevents the little spring on the seal from popping out as you pound the seal into the differential. If you are too cheap to buy factory parts, you can just fill the seal with grease where the spring is located to keep it from popping out. You can make a cheap seal driver by using PVC pipe bought at the Home Improvement stores. Bring the seal so you will get the right diameter connector. I purchase the cleanout plug that screwed into the PVC coupler so that I would have something to pound against.
