that was one of the best tech videos ive ever seen ! you addressed all the difficult areas and i always wondered how to punch the axle back into the transmission. plunging it is excellent. was never sure if that would harm the joint or not but now i know. outstanding video and camera work too
Good video. I would recommend filling the transmission with fluid once you seat the axle into the transmission housing before reassembling it all to make sure there are no leaks, because you don't want to find out that the seal is still leaking after everything has been put back!
Very thorough, best video on axle seal replacement. Usually I have to watch multiple videos to answer questions, after watching tutorials that lack instructions. You have left me with no questions, or the need to do further research on the subject. Thank you for taking pride in your work, and willing to share your knowledge. Awesome!!
Awesome video Brian. I take it that you moved outside of Chicago and bought a plot of land for your shop and house. I just find it awesome how your businesses are going
Brian, Not only have your videos kept my two Fords running, you also kept me entertained through a six month deployment. I think you help more people and in more ways than you realize.
Needing to do this for a 2011 MKZ awd I just but for the passenger rear axel seal. On the rear axel you can’t even get a slim 3/8 ratchet in to check the fill plug so I can see the level due to clearance issues.
Love how your videos are so thorough and detailed. Would the passenger side on an AWD Taurus leaking from the seal with the ptu be much more complicated, or is it about the same procedure?
Just did this last night, awesome video man. Thanks!!! I used a short piece of 2x4 to pound my seal in and it worked great, and purchased the seal puller on amazon which also worked great. I drained the Trans fluid first through the drain plug, which usually ends up being around 5.5 quarts and nothing came out of the seal doing it that way. On a 2014 Limited the strut bolts were splined on the left side but just on the left side of the strut itself not in the spindle. With the seal and puller it was around $30, not including trans fluid. Took a couple hours, well worth doing.
On some of the Ford Escapes you also have to replace the half shaft due to mfg burrs that tear up the seal. I know from experience after having 3 seals put in.
heres another vid from him let me know if you fixed yours a different way.....ua-cam.com/video/NYUSKffTVqI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FordTechMakuloco&fbclid=IwAR0hoeqmtdKeYN5gl68kxhizlK4CE4UXTlmEtiUHlGYPF-8m-yBkHRW1Bnk
I'ma tell ya... You helped me get my truck on the road again when I was hit by this crazy economy... My F250 2006 4x4, 5.4 engine is running pretty good... From the solenoids, differential oil, to the stuck spark plugs (7 of them), serpentine belt, and cleaning out a/c unit with just blowing it while on the car from the engine wall, to knowing that I will need to change my phazers real soon. You are a champ! The best that I have seen explain it to the exact. I changed my rear wheels seals, too. Some day I can thank you better when I get back on my feet. A gift or something...
Good point that is why I mentioned in the video you can tap it into place with a hammer evenly around the perimeter of the seal these go in very easy. This was a customers vehicle so of course I was going to use the proper tool to get it set perfect for them.
Great video. Very informative. Congrats on the new home. Can't wait to see it. Isn't blue lock-tite on the axle nut a little overkill? It will only add a require a little bit of extra torque to remove later, not a significant amount. 250 ft/lbs of torque should hold it on there pretty securely don't you think?
+Pet Rock's Garage it's never overkill when it comes to driveline and suspension fasteners. The amount of vibrations they endure is enough for me to put two dabs of loctite on yes.
I just did this job and didn't have the right tool to install - if you have a 3d printer I designed a tool that will make this job 100000X easier - it's on printables "2004-2011 Ford Focus Output Shaft Seal Installer - CV Axle" Hope this helps someone out there.
Congratulations on the new home and shop. You deserve it bro. Your tour across America helping Ford owners that were in need says it all. Keep up the great work.
Note to all: 2014 Ford Flex---those 2 strut bolts are pressed on and splined into knuckle. After nuts are removed, bolts are tough to get out without air hammer. I had to apply some heat to the bolt head and beat on opposite end with a 10 pound hammer (with nut on to prevent damage to threads). It took a while but finally broke free.
I want to buy the correct seal install tool. But having problems finding exactly which one I need on Amazon. Would appreciate any help on which one I need to buy. The above link in video comments is not valid anymore for the seal install tool.
Do you have a video on replacing 6f50 transmission fluid? I didn't see one, but figured I would ask. Thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful.
Congratulations on purchasing a new home, and the ability of building your own shop to your own liking! I hope to be doing similar one day! Of course, another great instructional video 😄
Changed it last year and still leaks so my question is could the sound I hear while driving be the axle itself that’s worn out and causes the leak (sounds wobbly and louder as the speed goes up)
we have learned a lot from you and we appreciates that question what about the rear differencial oil on 2011 Taurus SHO when should it be changed? to be honest I have changed the ptu twice and this is my third one so for now I am changing the oil every 25,000 Kilometres for it but never touched the rear one but do I only add oil alone or put fraction fluid with it thanks
Does anyone have the part number for the other side of the transmission where the PTU connects with the trans. I am assuming there is a seal for the trans and ptu, just need the trans seal as I am putting a new PTU in.
I’ve replaced and installed a new seal and cv axle, and it’s still leaking. I have a feeling it’s the whole where the seal goes! How can I fix that?! I need help please!!!
You put out great detailed videos with tons of info for your viewers so it's definitely well deserved. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and it's just going to get better!
Ok Ima be clear with your video. I liked most of it however, the main axle nut should never be tightened with an impact gun because you might have stripped threads but since its locked, noone would notice until the next teardown a few months/years later. It happened on a repair that I was performing, all necessary precausions were made to remove the nut but the previous guy had used an impact to run it thru and be done with it.....it could have been avoided by using a regular ratchet and tightening carefully, what "extra time" would it take? maybe 20-30 more seconds. I dont see the harm....So basically I ended up with a stripped axle and I had to take it to a machine shop to recreate the threads. Please dont use impact guns on the main axle nut....never ever.....Just spend 20 more seconds with a ratchet....its really not that difficult.
I have used a impact to run them down for 12 years now day in day out all you need to do is thread the nut on by hand until the nylon insert stops you then impact until it bottoms out and finalize with a torque wrench it's pretty simple and foolproof actually.
The main axle nut with nylon? The ones I know dont have nylon....and actually It may be fool proof for you, but common sense is not common for lots of people, the threads can be stripped but the high force applied initially. It is not a bad advise to run it manually with a ratchet until it bottoms and then use torque wrench. Like I said, maybe extra 20-30 secondsr that can save a lot of money in the long run.
Wow really looking forward to see the new shop! The repair videos you put out on the floor of your garage are about as good as they can get. With a lift in a shop they will be twice as good im sure. Really looking foreword to it
Doing the same for our Toyota Corolla 2004, I expended nearly 2 hours trying to get the seals in (both sides) I do have a seal tool from Harbor Freight, it fits the seals nicely but no matter what I did, always one side gets in the opposite side out, tapping around it did not help either, used 3 different hammers carefully, nothing, after 2 hours i decided to leave it and will try again tomorrow, my seals looks exactly like the one here and the seal tool very similar. I do not want to tap on the edges of the seal afraid I could destroy it, the position I am in to do this makes it even more difficult as i can only lift the car so much, kneel by the driver side allows me to kind of get in a comfortable position to tap the seal in but even like that i could not drive it in straight; top is in while bottom is completely out and now it doesn't even come out, the passenger side is worst (The engine is out of the bay, only transmission in) I can get my body inside the engine bay then kneel with the car raised to max as the jack allows me under the crossmember frame (two jacks support the car on both sides besides this one for safety) but then again no matter how I pound it in, if I tap hard the seal gets in one side and the other out and if I go gentle tapping nothing happens; this is very frustrating! tomorrow with daylight I will try again, this supposed to be easy!!
My wife's SUV was leaking transmission fluid, 1/2 quart per day. I saved myself a ton of money by watching this video and I did the job myself. It only took two hours working at a slow pace while being careful. Thanks for the video! You da man!
@FordTchMakuloco. Are the bushing puller tools like you used for the bushing even available to rent, or purchase? Looks like something to have in the tool chest..... Working on a 2010 Mercury Milan w/4cylnder with an automatic trans, left side is bad. I see that it's a dealer seal-kit so you have to go by VIN. For these vehicles, Ford built transmissions here in the US, plus they had transmission's shipped her from Asia. That's what turned it into having to call a Dealership for the correct Seal-kit.....
I have a 2016 ford explorer XLT AWD 3.5L, close to 18K on it. At what mileage should I have my transmission fluid changed along with the differential? I do my normal services every 5K on the dot. First new and big purchase I have made. I want my car to last haha.
@ 16:15 If no grease on the seal (on rubber part inside), what grease to apply? I have automatic (2001 Saturn SL2). The seals I bought are Timken 4614N Seal and National 4613N Oil Seal. What Seal Installer was used? Is it fm/Amazon? Thank you for the great film, really the best on the project.
Hi Brian, would the procedure be the same/similar to replace the front diff axle seals on my 4x4 2010 Ranger XLT? My front diff seals are leaking... Thanks!
are the f150 front differential axle stubs the same as this ? like do they just pop back in and lock with the c clip ? i changed out the driver cide cv axle on my f150 and after it noticed the stub shaft has started to pull out of the differential any advice ???
Great vid. Brian Do u remember how many quarts of lub. U did add to transmission. ?? And what kind of lub. ?? Regarding Abs wire, it doesn't exist in my 2012 explorer !! Strange indeed
I'm sure I will never hear back from you because this a couple years old, but can I get to the passenger side seal ass easy as the drivers side. I have an 08 edge awd. Thanks!
2008 ford f-150 5.4 3v, had to grind the inner lip to interface the opening to remove the solenoid and screw, a 3/8's drill bit acts like a dremel tool. but it was a good start.
My '08 ford explorer xlt has one front and one rear axle seal leak. I am wondering if it is worth it to replace CV axles or just the seals? Vehicle has 107k miles. Thanks and awesome video!
I replaced the passenger side cv axle because I heard a clicking when turning. Afterwards I noticed a leak that burns on the exhaust. so I changed the seal just as you did in your video. I still have a leak coming from the seal. Do you have any idea what could cause the leak? Can this be fixed or does the shaft need to be replaced?
Hi! Excellent video as always and I don't even own a Ford vehicle. I'm wondering you don't recommend rubbing any oil or grease on the outer surface of the seal that meets the metal. Do you?
fordtechmakuloco question pls .. what seals are used on the half shaft or intermetate shaft on ford edges awd? the one side i believe nok xe0269e the other side has no no marking that i can see but its very rusty?
Brian I watch your video's everyday, my Ford F150 has about a 100,00 miles on it.the gas milage is though the roof. whats the best way to get the most from my 5.4 3V its only a 2009?
You used a sharpie to mark the original position of the knuckle to strut . Would it help accuracy when reassembling , to also mark that spot ( on the knuckle ) with a scribe ? Great video . ! God bless Wyr
No matter what I did, I could not get the axle out of the transmission. Does having the emergency brakes on have anything to do with it not wanting to come out?
On some vehicles there is also a seal on the steering knuckle which needs to be replaced whenever the cv joint is removed not sure if this Ford has one.
that was one of the best tech videos ive ever seen ! you addressed all the difficult areas and i always wondered how to punch the axle back into the transmission. plunging it is excellent. was never sure if that would harm the joint or not but now i know. outstanding video and camera work too
Good video. I would recommend filling the transmission with fluid once you seat the axle into the transmission housing before reassembling it all to make sure there are no leaks, because you don't want to find out that the seal is still leaking after everything has been put back!

You have left me with no questions, or the need to do further research on the subject. Thank you for taking pride in your work, and willing to share your knowledge. Awesome!!
Great video. Will help me immensely on an up coming axle replacement job on the wife’s 16’ MKX. Thank you God bless.
Awesome video Brian. I take it that you moved outside of Chicago and bought a plot of land for your shop and house. I just find it awesome how your businesses are going
We are only moving about 2 miles away we are already outside the city now but much more space.
great job as always. it is so great to see what I'm getting into before starting it myself.
I wish they all came out that easy! Thanks!
The only seals I have a problem with is the rear diff pinion and axle seals with the adhesive on them.
Brian, Not only have your videos kept my two Fords running, you also kept me entertained through a six month deployment. I think you help more people and in more ways than you realize.
Thanks I know how boring it can be during downtime when deployed!
@@FordTechMakuloco what is the tool you used to drive the seal in please😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you for your service and protecting us
Congratz on the new Hut FordTech! Much deserved!
Thanks!
Best video of of this job I have ever seen! And I have watched many. Your video gave me the confidence to fix my daughter's 2012 fusion. Many Thanks!
Needing to do this for a 2011 MKZ awd I just but for the passenger rear axel seal. On the rear axel you can’t even get a slim 3/8 ratchet in to check the fill plug so I can see the level due to clearance issues.
I see it's the same one your did the valve cover on.
Actually noticed the stained air filter before the shiny clean cover.
+CamperMike Yup many problems on this one first year of the new generation Explorer
Love how your videos are so thorough and detailed. Would the passenger side on an AWD Taurus leaking from the seal with the ptu be much more complicated, or is it about the same procedure?

With the seal and puller it was around $30, not including trans fluid. Took a couple hours, well worth doing.
how do you know there is not a inner bearing causing problems as there were with other ford transmissions?
On some of the Ford Escapes you also have to replace the half shaft due to mfg burrs that tear up the seal. I know from experience after having 3 seals put in.
+Michael James yup I have videos on that too for the 6F35 in the Escape and Fusion
Glad your doing fine Brian. Your and other repair videos on YT help myself tremendously. Keep them coming. coldbear.
Good video thanks for sharing
I have a 2013 escape awd that the drivers side cv shaft moves around in the transmission is there a bushing that I need to replace
heres another vid from him let me know if you fixed yours a different way.....ua-cam.com/video/NYUSKffTVqI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FordTechMakuloco&fbclid=IwAR0hoeqmtdKeYN5gl68kxhizlK4CE4UXTlmEtiUHlGYPF-8m-yBkHRW1Bnk
Hi. What lubricant do you use for CV Joint lubricant? Didn't you turn off a spherical support in this video?
There are special packets of cv joint grease
Dude you’re awesome!
Ok to reuse the circlip? I know some shop manuals say to replace.
+alb12345672 perfectly fine we do it all the time
Great video Brian. Can't wait to see the new shop being built.
Me too!
I'ma tell ya... You helped me get my truck on the road again when I was hit by this crazy economy... My F250 2006 4x4, 5.4 engine is running pretty good...

Not to many DIYers have that seal driver tool. You should have showed us how to install the seal with something we have around the garage.
Good point that is why I mentioned in the video you can tap it into place with a hammer evenly around the perimeter of the seal these go in very easy. This was a customers vehicle so of course I was going to use the proper tool to get it set perfect for them.
Excelent thank you very much i wanna replace drive axle and same time seal axle I didn’t know how hard was but now ..look easy thanks
These days just rent from autozone!
Thank you for all your help. 2011f150ecoboost engine rattle @startup ,has been repaired,under warranty. your video saved my a**.
God to hear!
Got a P/N for the seal tool? Thanks.
Great video. Very informative. Congrats on the new home. Can't wait to see it.
Isn't blue lock-tite on the axle nut a little overkill? It will only add a require a little bit of extra torque to remove later, not a significant amount. 250 ft/lbs of torque should hold it on there pretty securely don't you think?
+Pet Rock's Garage it's never overkill when it comes to driveline and suspension fasteners. The amount of vibrations they endure is enough for me to put two dabs of loctite on yes.
I’m seriously impressed with your explanation of this job. Ford wants 2300 for my 2015 explorer. No reason I can’t do this with your video!
Congratulations on your upcoming move. Looking forward to seeing more repair videos on your new shop. Keep up the great work. You rock !
Thanks it is definitely an exciting time!
Is there a fix for the driveline vibration issue common to 2015-up Mustangs??
nice job man. GET THAT NEW SHOP DONE ! Joe
The faster the better I need to master plan it first.
Thanks. Clear straight forward and methodical. Brian , you are a pro. I have learned so much from you.
I just did this job and didn't have the right tool to install - if you have a 3d printer I designed a tool that will make this job 100000X easier - it's on printables "2004-2011 Ford Focus Output Shaft Seal Installer - CV Axle" Hope this helps someone out there.

way to go looks like you tube bought you a new home lol😄
+Desmond Blyan pretty much the wife works really hard too making this all happen.
Good stuff looks like you worked hard and deserve every bit
Note to all: 2014 Ford Flex---those 2 strut bolts are pressed on and splined into knuckle. After nuts are removed, bolts are tough to get out without air hammer. I had to apply some heat to the bolt head and beat on opposite end with a 10 pound hammer (with nut on to prevent damage to threads). It took a while but finally broke free.

I want to buy the correct seal install tool. But having problems finding exactly which one I need on Amazon. Would appreciate any help on which one I need to buy. The above link in video comments is not valid anymore for the seal install tool.
Do you have a video on replacing 6f50 transmission fluid? I didn't see one, but figured I would ask. Thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful.
You can just follow my 6f35 video they are quite similar.
The axle came out about an inch and stopped.. it's just stuck won't pull out or go back in on the splines... any idea what's going on
Congratulations on purchasing a new home, and the ability of building your own shop to your own liking! I hope to be doing similar one day! Of course, another great instructional video 😄
Yeah I really feel lucky to be able to do it so quickly like this.
Congratulations. Can not wait. You have saved me alot of money following you. So i am going to subscribe to your page. Thank's .Jim
The big cuestion is i fellow You Video but mi 2018 Ford fusión hybrid is not have bearing shaft if i have chance i send picture
Changed it last year and still leaks so my question is could the sound I hear while driving be the axle itself that’s worn out and causes the leak (sounds wobbly and louder as the speed goes up)
2015 2.0L FWD edge here. How do I find out what I have. It's either 6F35 of 6F50.
we have learned a lot from you and we appreciates that
question what about the rear differencial oil on 2011 Taurus SHO when should it be changed?
to be honest I have changed the ptu twice and this is my third one so for now I am changing the oil every 25,000 Kilometres for it but never touched the rear one
but do I only add oil alone or put fraction fluid with it
thanks
All you need is 80w-90 for the rear diff- amzn.to/2ip6Ukk
In reality these can go 60k miles before they should be changed out on the Taurus whereas on a truck that tows I would say every 30k miles.
FordTechMakuloco how many quarts for the rear diff. ??
it is crazy how ford did thst drastic change on the explorers,love the 3rd and 4th gen better
Thanks, Brian for the video. How much should a shop charge for labor for this job?
Hi!
Will you tell me about the reliability of 6F35 to 2013 Ford Escape, please.
And how often you used to change oil fluid in 6F35.
30k the first time and every 60k miles after.
Does anyone have the part number for the other side of the transmission where the PTU connects with the trans. I am assuming there is a seal for the trans and ptu, just need the trans seal as I am putting a new PTU in.
I’ve replaced and installed a new seal and cv axle, and it’s still leaking. I have a feeling it’s the whole where the seal goes! How can I fix that?! I need help please!!!
Can you help me, I've already changed the seal twice and it's still leaking, what could it be?
Hello - Great video and thanks! that blue plastic tool - do you have a part number or an exact name for the tool or a link? CheeRS
This is Axle Seal Protector:
OTC Tools 6712
Kent-Moore J-44394-A
Add trans fluid to check for leaks before putting everything back.
Hey how much trans fluid did u lose when replacing that cv axle... ?
How to ??? video ford fusion 2018 transmission fluid change
it looks like the 6F50 uses a roller bearing instead of bushing to keep the inner CV from flopping around. too bad the crappy 6F35 uses a bushing.
Nice video Brian & congratulations on the new house!
Thanks it's gonna be great I still cannot believe this is all happening!
You put out great detailed videos with tons of info for your viewers so it's definitely well deserved. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and it's just going to get better!

is this the same part number for the 2013 ford edge 2.0 fwd driver side?
Wow really looking forward to see the new shop! The repair videos you put out on the floor of your garage are about as good as they can get. With a lift in a shop they will be twice as good im sure. Really looking foreword to it
Yup camera angles, lighting, space, shop equipment all is going to be much much better!
That seal was fine for a while i want to see mine talk about oil all over my drive way 😂😂😂
I don't currently own a Ford but your video is very informative. I think I could do that myself now.
Thanks!!
Doing the same for our Toyota Corolla 2004, I expended nearly 2 hours trying to get the seals in (both sides) I do have a seal tool from Harbor Freight, it fits the seals nicely but no matter what I did, always one side gets in the opposite side out, tapping around it did not help either, used 3 different hammers carefully, nothing, after 2 hours i decided to leave it and will try again tomorrow, my seals looks exactly like the one here and the seal tool very similar.

Great job Brian. Like the drones in the back ground!!
My wife's SUV was leaking transmission fluid, 1/2 quart per day. I saved myself a ton of money by watching this video and I did the job myself. It only took two hours working at a slow pace while being careful. Thanks for the video! You da man!
@FordTchMakuloco. Are the bushing puller tools like you used for the bushing even available to rent, or purchase? Looks like something to have in the tool chest.....
Working on a 2010 Mercury Milan w/4cylnder with an automatic trans, left side is bad. I see that it's a dealer seal-kit so you have to go by VIN. For these vehicles, Ford built transmissions here in the US, plus they had transmission's shipped her from Asia. That's what turned it into having to call a Dealership for the correct Seal-kit.....

@ 16:15 If no grease on the seal (on rubber part inside), what grease to apply? I have automatic (2001 Saturn SL2). The seals I bought are Timken 4614N Seal and National 4613N Oil Seal. What Seal Installer was used? Is it fm/Amazon? Thank you for the great film, really the best on the project.
Good luck at the new homestead, hope you get that new shop with a lift save your body!
Me too it will be so nice.
Hi Brian, would the procedure be the same/similar to replace the front diff axle seals on my 4x4 2010 Ranger XLT? My front diff seals are leaking...
Thanks!
I replaced the cv axles on my 2006 f150. The driver side piece that the axle goes bolted to slipped out, it’s leaking now. Should I replace the seal?
Will this also work for a ford fiesta 5 speed manual?
I hear ya there. Heck you can even performance vehicles as well as your daily drivers. Just ideas for future videos. I appreciate your videos
I may be doing as supercharger install on a Dodge Challenger this spring over on my BSG Automotive channel.
That's awesome! I'm hoping you can do performance stuff on ford's as well. Anything from mild to wild performance as well as your regular repairs
are the f150 front differential axle stubs the same as this ? like do they just pop back in and lock with the c clip ? i changed out the driver cide cv axle on my f150 and after it noticed the stub shaft has started to pull out of the differential any advice ???
Great vid. Brian
Do u remember how many quarts of lub. U did add to transmission. ??
And what kind of lub. ??
Regarding Abs wire, it doesn't exist in my 2012 explorer !! Strange indeed
I'm sure I will never hear back from you because this a couple years old, but can I get to the passenger side seal ass easy as the drivers side. I have an 08 edge awd. Thanks!
is there a bearing between the cv seal and transmission? I have a 2003 mazda tribute and is making noise coming from this area.
I think these use a bushing like the 6F35.
2008 ford f-150 5.4 3v, had to grind the inner lip to interface the opening to remove the solenoid and screw, a 3/8's drill bit acts like a dremel tool. but it was a good start.
My '08 ford explorer xlt has one front and one rear axle seal leak. I am wondering if it is worth it to replace CV axles or just the seals? Vehicle has 107k miles. Thanks and awesome video!
I replaced the passenger side cv axle because I heard a clicking when turning. Afterwards I noticed a leak that burns on the exhaust. so I changed the seal just as you did in your video. I still have a leak coming from the seal. Do you have any idea what could cause the leak? Can this be fixed or does the shaft need to be replaced?
if only all seals came out that easy
Hi! Excellent video as always and I don't even own a
Ford vehicle. I'm wondering you don't recommend rubbing any oil or grease on the outer surface of the seal that meets the metal. Do you?
fordtechmakuloco question pls .. what seals are used on the half shaft or intermetate shaft on ford edges awd? the one side i believe nok xe0269e the other side has no no marking that i can see but its very rusty?
Brian I watch your video's everyday, my Ford F150 has about a 100,00 miles on it.the gas milage is though the roof.
whats the best way to get the most from my 5.4 3V its only a 2009?
You used a sharpie to mark the original position of the knuckle to strut . Would it help accuracy when reassembling , to also mark that spot ( on the knuckle ) with a scribe ?
Great video . !
God bless

Question rear axle seal 2009 Edge can u just remove the wheel bearing and pull the axle thru the knuckle? Nic vid Cheers
Thanks for the video. Is that amount of movement normal? (When you grabbed the mixed the inner cv after fitting).
I did have a question. Are you going to modify ford's as well as the other brands aka mopars etc. Just was curious
Brian - PTU seals on my Escape 2013 are both leaking. Same basic procedure?
Make a Rack & Pinion replacement!!
awesome, I am guessing you are looking forward to having a lift again
Yes big time!
Can the bearing be removed from the same area or does the transmission need pulled to change the axle bearing?
what type of vehicle are estoy working on?
Great job, working on my 2012 Ford Edge SEL, how may oil seals in this transfer case? thanks,
Great news on the dedicated shop. Oh yeah, the house too! LOL
No matter what I did, I could not get the axle out of the transmission. Does having the emergency brakes on have anything to do with it not wanting to come out?
On the ptu passenger side. Do you have a part number for plastic deflector installer? Or what you use
does the 2011 Taurus have many problems with it
This leak is not too common no.
Hey I'm working on a 2012 Ford explorer ptu seal on passenger side do you know which way that first seal goes in with the little spring in it
Spring side is the inboard side so you should not see the spring once the seal is installed.
@@FordTechMakuloco ok now the ptu cover seal how does that come out
Just asking if you just pull it out to put new one in
@@FordTechMakuloco or is that one u can only get from inside of ptu
On some vehicles there is also a seal on the steering knuckle which needs to be replaced whenever the cv joint is removed not sure if this Ford has one.
