Hey everyone, my driver's side axle to diff seal went out and I was just wondering, how would I go about replacing it? I would prefer not to go to a mechanic if I can avoid it. I would think that the rear hub needs to have room to move so the half shaft can be popped out, so beside unbolting the two upper arms, the shock body, the abs wire, and the sway bar end link, what else would I have to do?
