RE: [DML] Axel seal replacement tricks

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

NO NO NO !!!!

DO NOT FOLLOW THE REPAIR MANUAL ON THIS!

To perform this maintenance item you only need fig.24 pn 104216 Lip Seal (2
pcs) and the Drive Flange section 4.7.0 fig.2 pn 100171 or 110539 (depends
on vin #) (2 pcs)

You need to replace the flange also because the old seal has worn a groove
into the flange.

This is a fairly easy repair. Do both sides at the same time. 
1) Remove the axle shafts
2) Drive out the roll pin holding the flange to the differential shafts
3) Place a oil pan under the differential to catch the oil.
4) Slide the flanges off the shaft (may require some tugging)
5) Pry out the old lip seals
6) Replace with new lip seals and flanges
7) Check fluid level in differential and fill with 80-90W gear oil

Under NO circumstance should you remove or attempt to adjust fig 26 in 4.1.1
the Diff. Adjust Screw Assy.
