[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 997191, member: 60736"] Basically, you disconnet the driveshaft at the rear. Be sure to mark it so you can put it back in the same place on the yoke. Pull the driveshaft out of the transmission tail housing. Pry out the old seal. Tap in a new one. Use a properly sized bushing driver or a even a socket to tap it in straight without damaging the new seal. Check the driveshaft where it meets the seal and make sure the surface is smooth and clean (no rust). Lube the new seal and the driveshaft seal surface with appropriate ATF. Also good idea to clean and lube the splines on the driveshaft at this time. Reinstall the driveshaft and you are good to go. Should take 30 minutes or so. [/QUOTE]
