Im Not a Mechanic by far im your average 55yr old female not tool savy this video was Excellent ! It makes a difference just vlean cut diy clear visual with 1 2 3 step by step how to ! With minor bolt difficulty i was a successful ! Thank You
Don't ever trust a youtube making things look easy, I just installed one last night on a 14 sierra, it was not easy at all. I cussed alot, threw tools & then finally improvised an oil wrench tied together with a zip tie & steel plate to hammer the new seal in. Driveline was another story.....good luck
@NewRoad because I really hate other working on my vehicle, so many crappy mechanics in my area, if its not too complicated I'm doing it to make sure it's done right. which I did end up doing it myself and turned out great.
I would think a can would get crushed too easy with the amount of force required to install. I used an oil filter wrench zip tied closed & steel plate to hammer it in.
Yup strange bumping noise thought it was from the rear springs, I’d have put money on it. Had to change output seal on transfer case so greased spline, well guess what no more noise at start and stop. Thanks for your vid! 👍👍
Well done! A good recommendation is to use blu threadlocker and mark the bolts on the U-joints; just to be sure after few miles that everything is fixed up. I have to check the seal on the front diff btw.
My old seal was melted to case. What a nightmare getting it off. My U-joint was bad. Probably caused the problem. Also, my heat shield fell off. (Alpha) I see you don't have one in that area.
Hi , I’ve recently have my transmission rebuilt almost 2 years ago and I’ve been having an issue with the output seal leaking ever since, so I took apart my transmission to take it to a mechanic to work on it just to save money, so I took the task on diy, never work on vehicles and I certainly did not mark any parts as you demonstrated in the video where you was unmounting the driveshaft. So not long ago I was doing research on the internet what could cause a leaking output seal and one of the most commonly issues were an unbalanced driveshaft can cause vibrations causing the seal to fail , so my question was if you could help me on how to get my driveshaft balance back like it was
I put a new output seal and now the drive shaft doesn’t go in more than 2 inches. I’ve tried everything. Yes it’s fully seated in and there are not any obstructions. What can I do?
No gasket maker around the perimeter of the seal? No grease on the inner seals edge that make a connection to the spinning and friction forces of the driveshaft? It wobbles as the casehousing bushing that supports the main shaft wears over time also, which makes the seal go bad. Got this advice from my ToyotaVanTech forum's tech "Timsrv." I'm getting ready to do this job on my 1988 Toyota Van Wagon. There's already some slight wobble with mine before I even took the propeller off. So I bought two seals and will see how long this lasts, or have the tranny dropped by my mechanic to fix. I'm getting ready to do this for the first time and I'm here to see another set of instructions especially how the seal puller is used. Have to be careful not to gouge the inner housing.
Was the bushing in your tail shaft or not also in need of replacement? I need to replace the seals in my NP208 and someone had mentioned that I should also replace the bushing.
During the vehicle manufacturing process, all driveshsharts are balanced to the specific vehicle. I'm sure your driveshaft had a weight attached to the shaft which is done during the balancing process. Think of it like your vehicle's wheels which are also balanced.
I say this is a CGI video. Not one word, cussing or otherwise was said and not ONE TOOL THROWN. Gracias sir for making a dream version video.
😎
Short, sweet and to the point these are the vids i like thank you
Glad it was helpful!

I am glad video was helpful. Great job!
This is the best video I’ve ever found on RUclips. No bs clout chasing, just how to do the repair and nothing else
Thanks! 👍
just got a 2024 ram 2500 cummins and have this issue, this video gives me confidence to just do it myself rather than take it in for warranty work.
Why would you do it - if it is still covered by warranty?

I found a vegetable can works well to put the seal back in as well it sits perfectly on that seal

Thanks for your vid! 👍👍
Great 👍
Yeh, thanks, good video, straight forward job, just happened to my Outback, can save 350 on labour, seal is only 10bucks
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Great point!
Great! And about oil level in transfer case it is known problem that better to fill in a little more oil for this transfer case :)
Thanks! You made it look so easy
Glad it was helpful
Спасибо друг! Я всё не решался поменять сам думал будет сложно. А посмотрел видео и понял что справлюсь. 😉👍
This just happened to my truck, thanks for the info!!
Glad I could help
What was the signs what happen to yours ?
Thanks SO much! Great help!
Glad it helped!
Really good video 👏
Thanks!

Thank you ❤
Welcome!
Wow this is was a well done video. Thank you! Quick question should I put bearing grease in the drive shaft so won't go in dry, or is that's alright?
Thanks, you don't have to put any grease. But I don't think it's gonna hurt if you lubricate a bit
Thanks 🎉
Glad it helped
Thanks.
Glad it was helpful
Clean and grease the inner splines of slipyolk also or you may get bumpstop issue
What grease
Thanks for the video
Hi..can you send link where to buy this seal tried ford and napa they said they dont have them
Check rockauto.com

Hi, it's hard to guess without looking at it. See if you find any play in shaft on both sides, etc.
I put a new output seal and now the drive shaft doesn’t go in more than 2 inches. I’ve tried everything.
Yes it’s fully seated in and there are not any obstructions. What can I do?
Thx man!!
Thanks for the vid, now mine did pop out, I replaced, few days later it popped out again, you know why it pop out again? Thanks
Did you buy OEM or aftermarket, or may be you didn't push it inside enough
@@NewRoad ill check it again, thanks
Outstanding!

I suggest putting gasket maker around the seal also I did mine in a couple of months later and started leaking again
Good luck with the project
Will this work on a Yukon Denali?
In principle should be the same process.
Was the bushing in your tail shaft or not also in need of replacement? I need to replace the seals in my NP208 and someone had mentioned that I should also replace the bushing.
The bushing was ok and still ok
what is that tool at 2.00
Seal puller
Thanks for not telling us what tool that is you used to remove the old seal. That's the only reason I'm watching it
Glad it was helpful
It wasn't
I used a standard seal puller. Can be found at any auto part store for $5
It won't believe this but the tool you use to remove a seal is, drumroll please, a seal removal tool. Who would've thought
Would this GM seal work on my 05 Titan?
I would recommend to get OEM for for you Titan
What is the part number? Where did you buy it
I got it from rockauto.com. Just put your year, etc.
what vehicle is this ?
Hummer H3, but applicable to Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and other GM vehicles.
Good presentation. Please provide the part number it seems to be a secret. Thanks
Thanks, I don't remember part number. Check www.rockauto.com, this is where I buy most of my parts
@@NewRoad Thanks for responding.
Took a photo of your seal to Mazda agents to prove it exists.
Now they have ordered this seal for me.
Thanks.
1993 f150 4x4
What if your seal won’t go in
I would think that it is a wrong seal 😁. Which one did you get?
@@NewRoad nevermind I didn’t get the old seal out lmao
I don't understand the need to mark orientation of the drive shaft.. it doesnt matter...
All steps are taken from GM FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACEMENT FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACEMENT manual
During the vehicle manufacturing process, all driveshsharts are balanced to the specific vehicle. I'm sure your driveshaft had a weight attached to the shaft which is done during the balancing process. Think of it like your vehicle's wheels which are also balanced.
Not a single word stating what vehicle this is for
Doesn't matter......
That looks like the front differential not the transfer case
It's definitely not
Thank You wery much!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your video
