Re: axle seals 83 chev k10 4x4
The inner axle seals on the front axle require a complete tear-down of the entire axle. The only thing left is the pinion...drive shaft removal is not necessary either.
The seals are removed from inside the differential cover after the carrier is removed. This of course means that the axles have to come out too, thus requiring hub/rotor and spindle removal too. It is a rather complex thing for such a simple little seal....and it gets you into a few "while you are in there" jobs too. The axle joints should be replaced, wheel bearings re-packed, wheel seals replaced, and I would take a good look at the ball-joints....."while you are in there". You will probably find that removing the spindles will be the hardest part of this process.
