Hi,

can anyone help me with some advice on how to change the diff pinion oil seal on an 86 Iroc with a 305 and 5sp man??

Thanks in advance.

Jono.

 

remove drive shaft, make a mark on the nut and pinion, or something for referance. remove nut and yoke, remove seal. install in reverse order. tighten nut and match the lines up you made. i'd use some red locktite on the nut.

Before you start, you need to feel the amount of resistance is in the yoke when you turn it. Once you reassemble, you need to tighten the nut down so that there is just as much if not a little more resistance. If you do not give the pinion bearings the same amount of preload, they might last two weeks.
