Hey Justin, I just ordered that Mayhew Seal Puller! That tool looked great when I saw it had that little hammer landing, I knew I had to have it! Thank you and take good care bro! 👍
Well idk where you live but around me (Florida) shops have to charge whatever the book says time wise, so say the book said this job took 5 hours ( which it would t be that long but still) they would charge parts and then 5 hours of labor regardless if it actually took them 5 hours or if they did it in 5 minutes
For every repair (even though you know and most people know) mention each tool used (brand,model,size etc). Same with vehicle being repaired. Example say "with this repair I'm using brand x ratcheting box wrench size x and..etc". In my opinion I think would make your channel grow.
How about putting the camera closer to where your working so we can see something besides the back of your head. Useless video all we see is you pounding on the back of a transmission. Do us a favor next time and skip the videoing part of it.
Nice video Justin! I needed to see if the tail housing had to come off to do this. Glad it doesn't! Can't help but notice the "Cafe 247" hat. Is that in Lucerne Valley?
My 99’ Sierra is leaking tranny fluid from the rear seal and it needs to be replaced. I assume it’s pretty much the same procedure as whatever this truck is?
so what was the point of the output shaft seal? I know for the fluid so it wont leak but do i keep it in there or this is just for the removing process please info me i'm lost
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Yeah if you add a lot of swearing, dirt and limited movement to the process. Suppose it's not that bad if you have a bigger lifted truck or can get it on some bigger jackstands. 😁#liftenvy
Are you serious. Not easy but not as hard as I thought also. Thank you. Wish you were vocalizing what your doing. Sizes. Tips. Torque anything?? Crickets
You’re aware that will change by year, make, model, trans type,etc right? Easier to be quiet and just show the work so some numbskull doesn’t try to sue for damages.
Old seal was leaking so I replaced the seal and installed new u joints since they were the original from 97. Got the new seal installed and it’s leaking around the weep hole. Transmission fluid all under the truck. What did I miss or do wrong? Everything went in fine.
Is sealant required for the metal rim of this seal, where it bears in the hole? EDIT: I'm sealing it with a tiny bead of Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker (same stuff I used on the front bearing retainer's mating surface).
I used an old hub bearing, but look around for anything with a cylinder shape and you'll be just fine. I've even used over sized deep axle sockets from time to time to install output shaft seals and in some cases crank shaft timing cover seals.
Doug dimmadome: yeah, actually I do. I have this exact problem with a derelict truck. I am not a master mechanic, so a little more hand holding would be appreciated. Hats off to anyone bold enough to put themselves out there to make a tutorial video. However if you're going to make the video, put a little care into it. Show good angles, explain your work....articulately, and act like you care that you're on display. Its a video intended to teach.....so teach. If I wanted to watch some video of a guy just doing stuff.....well then.....I probably wouldn't.
@@markbrowning4334 I was just messing with you lmao, heres how I took mine out of my 2000 mustang with a gearbox. all I had to do was take a screwdriver and tap it out similar to how he did it in the video, except he has a custom made tool for it, all I did was fuck the seal up a little so I could get the tip of the screwdriver somewhere with leverage, then hit the handle with a big hammer, I used a 32oz ball peen. then with a big ass socket or something similar, tap the new one into place. I'd use a rubber mallet or something when you're putting it in. main thing is just dont be scared of fucking something up or else you'll do a shit job. the only thing to avoid is damaging the aluminum around the seal.
I'm really enjoying the 15 degree off set. Get's into some really tricky spots. and I love the extra length for added leverage. Overall I'm pretty darn satisfied with what they are doing at Harbor Freight. ICON is definitely Next level for them for sure. Cheers!
People watch these to get some knowledge so they can do it themselves. If you explained what you are doing, tools needed, such as seal removal and replacement. Nothing to learn from the back of your head. Seal number? Seal installation tool size?
This guy doesn't know his head from his feet and that's me being nice, and yeah that did just happen. Now don't fix or let alone repair a vehicle if you don't know what or how too, seems like you should stick to "P.M" service. Im just keeping it real.
