How do you not have more subscribers!? I was a mechanic for 6 years but switched to engineering so I like to reference videos before I tackle a job and I gotta say this video was excellent. Subscribed.
Great video. The only thing I would add is make sure you can get that fill plug out before you tackle this job. It would really suck if you did all that work and then couldn’t fill your diff at the end.
Appreciate the video but two things I don't like. First, in a video like this fastener sizes/style should always be noted. It's always baffled me that the majority of "how to's" don't do it. Second, I would contend that the method shown for measuring rotational torque is wrong and a click style torque wrench is inappropriate. You're measuring residual or break away torque (The amount of force it takes to get the pinion to move). This is not what you're looking to measure when taking a rotational torque measurement on a automotive differential. In order to correctly measure it you need to use a beam style torque wrench whose measurement can vary. You then must overcome the break away torque and measure how much torque it takes to keep that pinion turning at a constant speed. That's the number you're looking for. The measurement shown may tell you that you have the same breakaway you did before the repair but it doesn't tell you that your rotational torque is good and that's what matters when setting up a diff.
+@stephenmcgraw3610 The size of the seal will depend on your vehicle specifications. You may contact a local dealerships parts department to determine the exact size for your model.
Ugh, no mention of the size on the bolts or fill plug, "gentle bonk" then proceeds to swing like Thor fighting ice giants. And annoying. Give me an old dude on his back under a tree that tells you how to do it the easy way..

Phenomenal video, def helpful to replace my pinion seal.

What size is that pinion nut?!?
Great video btw!
Great vid, but why de-adjust the brakes? They literally have nothing to do with a pinion seal replacement...?
why?
Man, this is a really great video. Too bad it made me realize that I'm taking my truck to a garage to do this instead of doing it myself lol.
Definitely recommend pb blasterwhen removing nuts and bolts and thread locker when putting driveline bolts back on.
Thank you guys
Thank you for your video.
Should do a video on how to remove the oil pan when having to lift the engine

Thank you 🙏
Is that a 7.5 diff ? and what size is that pinion nut ? And the part numbers for the seal and yoke ?
Am I gonna be able to remove those bolts with hand tools?
Where can i get a seal for the ford ranger 4x4 seal 48x80x16 with throu back
Is it 7.5” for the pinion seal

“A few bonks in all four Corners”?
Do you need to lift it?
Is it the same procedure to replace the front pinion seal?
+Cory Lechner The installation should be very similar.
@@TRQ - it's disc brakes on the front, so what do you need to do since there is no brake adjusters to back off?

Can I just take the tires off?
The reason you don’t hit the driveshaft because you’ve bended a little and throws it out of balance he should explain
Or put it back in park
