Thanks for posting this, well explained process. After watching, I have successfully replaced left and right axle seals on my 2014 Silverado with 210000 km.
Great video! This rear axle definitely has some extra process to it. Your video really help with how to go about the stubborn c clip and stubborn axle shaft. Lifesaver!😊
Clean the dry lock tite off the threads of the set bolt, and dry the hole for that set bolt with brakes cleaner of any oil film when you are ready to lock tite it on re-assembly.
I would but it's not my truck and the guy who owned it traded it for a newer ram with air ride suspension. Sometime in the coming months he has me installing a bds 4" lift on it.
Use c clamp on hub and other side of c clamp to where the brake caliper bold hole is on the axle and it will press the axle in far enough to remove/ re install c clip. Had same issue
It will need replaced if it's getting anywhere near the brakes. Some states it won't pass inspection. But yes, keep an eye on the fluid level. Rebuilding a rear differential is very expensive.
So I’m to the point of turning the driveshaft to release the pin and it will not turn more than a few inches in both directions..Any thoughts? Yes i’m in neutral
Appreciate the video!!! Just finished up my rear axle seek and your video helped so much!
That's fantastic! Glad to hear it helped!

Great vid. You were very clear on what to do. Thank you 🙏
Quite welcome
Awesome video .... Thank you for taking the time to post this and give the extra hints and suggestions
God bless ... Love the verse ... Cheers
Thanks I do these to help people when I can.
Very nice video. You should do a video of the parking shoe replacement next.

Agree with the RTV on the seal. I'm doing mine this weekend coming.
Good luck. Fun times!
Thanks man had the same problem with 2012 Chevy silverado had to use a chisel to move the axle far enough to get the c clip out
Hope it helped you some. Thanks for watching.

Good job dude
Thank you
Great vid! Can't wait to put a strait axel under the front of the ZR2. Nah just kidding.. Have a good one brother.
I was looking at mine a while back. It's doable lol
Whens your new video coming out
We have a trail video coming out in a few minutes. However it’s not with the ZR2. Wifey wanted to drive her Jeep.
No problem. I like your videos anyway
Great video ! How’s the ZR-2 ? I just bought a 2020 and loving it so far.
It's good. We primarily use it for long trips now since my wife has been working from home.
Great video men, do you know the torque spec for the cross pin bolt?
I'd have to Google it. I have done so many i go by feel. Never had 1 come out. If you can't find it let me know and I will look for it.
I suspect I have a very small seal leak on my 3500 srw would it better to replace or just keep an eye on fluid level

Thanks
So I’m to the point of turning the driveshaft to release the pin and it will not turn more than a few inches in both directions..Any thoughts?
Yes i’m in neutral
So driveshaft wont turn?
Put transfer case in neutral if you can. If you have the calipers off don't hit the brake pedal
I have to do this on my 2001 S10. Any idea how much a shop would charge to do it?
It is hard to say. Depends on labor rate and if all goes well. No rust etc. Although I think the s10 is easier.
@@BigFrogs4x4 Can you take n educated guess, ballpark figure?
If charging $70 per hr then 2-3 hr labor. Are they doing 1 side or both. 1 probably closer to 2 hr
@@BigFrogs4x4 I just got the one side to do.
No need to put anything on the gasket. I reused mined after a fluid change it is fine.
