Unglar Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 going down to buy a output shaft seal for my ax-4 will post some pics after its installed How about pics of the seal install? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 not installed but... I'm begining to think lordco people don't really know what they are doing, they gave me the wrong seal so i got pics of half the seal replacement done. its pretty simple, just need a seal puller and well the seal, and gear oil reading my trusty repair manual :huh???: :shake: i know unheard of right? parts and tools leaky seal my new fold-able creeper i got for $10 another random pic of me, workin on my truck as soon as i woke up, lol no more oil leak driveshaft out all cleaned up and seal out and now time to put in the n.... wait a minuite... I'm pretty sure that that isnt the right seal so time for some random pics, rotten rocker, the paint is holding the rotted metallic rust (metallic because more rust than metal) and driveshaft yolk? more too come, :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 back down to lordco, for the billionth time in a row, ive been there daily, they don't have my transmission seal so its being shipped up from Vancouver so it should be here by the morning time, and once I'm off work i will install the seal, and post more picks, as well as a DIY for AX-4 output seal replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks for the pics and future write up. So that seal puller just hooks one side of the seal and pulls it out? Did it work good or could a flathead do the same job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 tried a flathead first, went back to lordco for a seal puller, out in 5 seconds :D going to pick up the seal now, and when I'm off work ill post more pics :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kastein Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Seal puller is worth every cent. I have the same exact one :thumbsup: It just hooks behind one side of the seal, brace it against the other side and pry and shazam, out it comes. Only thing you have to be careful about is not nicking the seal mounting surface with the end of the hook. That seal they gave you looks an awful lot like the one that goes on the output of the transmission if you have a transfer case. Ask for a replacement for OEM part number 8350 2118 and you will get the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 the people at lordco are just "Smart" S-M-R-T :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: people at lordco in vancouver are ever smarter, they thought it would be a good idea to throw the wrong part into a box and send it out, so when i went into lordco they told me someone pulled a fast one and just threw it in the box I'm begining to be very very very annoyed, so.... once again ill be waiting till tomorow to get my seal, and will install it after work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 :headpop: got the same part again, people at lordco saying that it would work, ofcourse it won't... because its not for my transmission, That seal they gave you looks an awful lot like the one that goes on the output of the transmission if you have a transfer case. Ask for a replacement for OEM part number 8350 2118 and you will get the right one. thank you, i brought that number in this morning just as a fail safe, I'm glad i did, i told them i wanted that number and they were like what for?? grrr :fs1: so... yet again tomorrow i will finish this thing, thanks again kastein in advanced, i hope that part will work for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 my drill died on me, so i need to get a new one before i can finish the bumper, but i got around to putting my new seal in today no more leaks! (from the transmission that is :P ) but as i was under the truck i noticed that i think its time for some new bumpstops testing the total blade i got for free, it actually works :hmm: and how she sits atm, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
