Techniques for replacing pinion seal on differential
My 63 Park Avenue has a leak at the differential. My accomlished, experienced, and reliable mechanic has never replaced a seal of this type. I have a pinion seal and differential gasket. I also purchased a reprinted shop manual for 1963 Cadillacs. He is concerned about torque needed in tightening the pinion nut so that it was the same as before disasembly. We would greatly appreciate advice and/or knowledge of videos,tecniques for the successful removal, replacement of the pinion seal.See More

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
