Two weeks ago I had to change my front diff gasket since it had a leak, so I had to pull the axle shafts so I can get the DS out and pull my 3rd so I can put the new gasket.
Putting the short shaft back was quick and painless. But the longer one (driver side) took me almost 20mins to get the splines aligned.
So, I must've damaged my inner axle oil seal from wedging the shaft all around it when trying to get it in. Now I have a leak on my driver side. Bad.
I'm sure it won't take you 20mins putting it back in. I'm going to pull it out again next weekend and replace the inner seal, so what advice/tips do I have to ponder when re installing the longer shaft?
Thanks...
