Rear Main Seal Replacement Party

[Leep]

Well, I just got under there with the rig idling, and there is so much crap and grime that I cannot tell WHERE the leak is coming from. Seems from in between the tranny and engine, but nobody can be sure lol. And, I've done something to my back here lately so it's really friggin painful to climb under there and back out again.

I'm thinking I have a "quick fix" idea for Big Bear, and I'll fix the actual issue when I get home. I dunno what I've done to myself, but for like two weeks my upper back is killing me lol. Sigh...

It is called working your ass off for years and AGE...

what kind of springs? if they are the RE's with the pressed in metal/rubber bushings you are going to need a press or a whole lot of muscle and a couple big prybars.

He had it done in no time, and then we got my 44 in--with a LOT of massaging.

Thanks, Steve. That was really cool of you to stay all day and help out. My hybrid axle just might work out. :cheers:
