Silverado Front Axle Seal/ Gasket

**00 formula** · 11-18-2008, 11:34 AM

I need to replace the passenger side front axle seal on a 2001 4x4 silverado, looks pretty basic but any one have a decent write up/ advice on this?

I assume you are talking about the seal in the side of the front differential, where the CV axle slides in??

Should just be a regular metal seal with a rubber lip, all you should have to do is pry the old one out and press the new one in with a seal installer/large socket.

Yep that's what I'm talking about and that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure I wasn't in for any surprises. Thank you
