By the way, the larger seal pictured above will not fit. The inside diameter is too big. However, the outer diameter is the exact same size as the yoke so I would imagine it offers a better seal agains the yoke. The larger seal is for the 14 bolt rear but being that the parts store is 80...

Yes, I used a pointed hammer and made sure I nicked it up real good with holes and scores around the sides. :wink: To quote the song, "Wet Dream": My mechanic had told me that I'd blown a seal. I said fix the damn thing and leave my personal life out of it.

FMJ: There is nothing holding the seal in place except friction...correct? Seems like the nut really only holds the yoke on the shaft.

Ok...I took the truck for a test spin, no leaks. However, I'm still not happy with the gap issue. Everything is seated as tight as can be. There isn't a lot of play in the shaft coming out of the differential yet I still can't manage to get the yoke to seat deepr on the shaft. Taking the...

Everything seems to be fine, very little play in the shaft, bearings look good. I've got the seal back in and driveshaft on and going to take it for a test spin to see if there is leakage. I honestly don't think it is anything too serious except a leaking seal. The truck sat a while before I...

FMJ, thanks for the info. My concern is that if the gap is too big, will the seal wiggle it's way out and start leaking?

Ok...I came to SS for help because there is no other place to go. I live in a town with 450 people and no auto parts store. The nearest one is 80 miles away. If someone can look at my first posting and actually go out to their truck and tell me if there is supposed to be a gap, I would...

I guess you didn't read above? The TM doesn't really explain much.

Ok...I picked up two different seals, one has a larger diameter ring around it and looks like it acts as a spacer. However, the one I pulled was the seal without a larger diameter(on the right). I put in a new seal which is idential to the one on the right and I have the gap issue. Could the...

The TM doesn't explain much except how to remove the seal and replace it. It doesn't go into much detail. Chapter 6-10 in the Maintenance manual.

The nut was tight. Just the seal was leaking.

The link came up forbiddin. I can't find anywhere in the TM as to how to replace the seal. I thought this was a simple operation? Pull the yoke, pull the seal, replace the seal, replace the yoke. It shouldn't be that difficult.

Ok...what's a crush sleeve?

I pulled my driveshaft and seal to the rear pumpkin because it was leaking. After replacing the seal and putting the yoke back on, there seems to be an 1/8" gap. Should this gap be tighter? Can someone look at their M1009 and let me know?
