Rear diff oil leak from prop flange oil seal
Zetecron - 31/7/13 at 10:27 AM

Help! Just fitted a sierra 4x4 3.62 diff to my striker, not made it out the garage yet and there is oil leaking from propshaft oil seal. Can seal be changed or is it a full diff strip down to change this seal? Had a quick look on net but did not find much info really. Any advice would be handy.
Cheers

You can just change the seal by removing the prop flange and then change the seal.
You will probably need to take diff out of the car depending how much room you have?

Cool. Is there any bearing preload done with nut that holds prop flange? Was told to count turns on removal! So just order up a seal and no other parts needed?

O/e style seal available from www.bearingkits.co.uk
And no preload on input flange just gun off and on
