Good To Know

Q: Can I install these seals without pulling the front gearcase? A: Some seals can be replaced in place, but a complete front differential reseal often requires removing and splitting the gearcase. Inspect the bearing surfaces while the case is open.

Q: How often should front differential seals be replaced? A: Replace them whenever you see weeping oil, after water intrusion, or any time the differential is opened for other service. Fresh seals are cheap insurance against gear and bearing damage.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
