seal removal/replacement - Diesel Forum

I have to replace a ball joint today, so I figured that while I'm in there, I'll replace a leaky seal. It's the passenger side, where the axle shaft slides into the pumpkin.

Do i need anything special to remove this seal? I've searched the archives, and can't really find the info I'm looking for. Anything to watch out for?

Thanks.

If the 250 seals are like the 350's then the axle seal is installed from inside the punkin with a special tool. It requires removing the ring gear.

That's not what I wanted to hear, but it's what I needed to know.
Thanks for the info.

Been a long time since i was into a ttb but im almost positive you can change that seal from the outside of the pumpkin.

RH side has that stupic C clip inside the pumpkin and requires disassembly unfortunately........ Mateo PM me your email addy and I will send a schematic and info for D50.
