How to replace the inner axle Wheel Seal or bearing on 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Differential carrier assembly requires draining before a vehicle raises in height to replace either the inner axle seal or bearing. You should start by retrieving the Differential carrier case assembly inner Axle Shaft housing assembly followed by Clutch Fork assembly components and inner Axle Shaft from the inner Axle Shaft housing. Clamping the mounting flange of this housing assembly in the vise while leaving it suspended frees the right side seal or bearing for removal. Use j 29369-1 or j 29369-2 behind the inner Axle Shaft seal or bearing when necessary before attaching j 2619-01 to extract the inner Axle Shaft seal or bearing. The replacement process for a single left side inner Axle Shaft seal begins with marking the wheel drive shaft alignment to the inner Axle Shaft before wheel drive shaft disconnection and inner Axle Shaft removal with a hammer and brass drift. After this the appropriate seal remover tool is used to remove the seal. The procedure for both left side seal and bearing replacement requires removing the Differential carrier assembly before clamping it in a vise for repeating the inner Axle Shaft removal steps. To install the right side bearing j 36609 and j 8092 first then insert the j 45225 and j 8092 to replace the new Axle Shaft seal. Use a soft-faced mallet to gently insert the inner Axle Shaft before reinstalling the inner Axle Shaft with Clutch Fork units into the inner shaft housing which should be connected to the Differential carrier case assembly. To install the left side bearing and seal home technicians must use similar installation tools as previous procedures while making sure the Differential case side gear accepts the inner Axle Shaft correctly. The front Differential carrier assembly installation should be completed if necessary while the left-side seal installation requires the j 45225 tool for correct placement by striking the central area only. Fasten the wheel drive shaft to the inner Axle Shaft while using appropriate fasteners which need to be tightened to 79 nm (58 lb ft). Complete the dressing of Differential carrier assembly with appropriate fluid then lower the vehicle to its normal position.
