Rear pinoin input seal

[Helidriver]

Hey, my pinoin seal is leaking.....booooourns. Did this diff come in anything usdm? Or does any one have a PN for it or know of where i could find one. Also cus i need to yank the axles, i would like to do the wheel bearings and the axle seals, same question for both....and are there any tricks to doing this, or is it like any other 3rd member setup. Thanks.

Entire rear axle/pinion/bearings/seals are equivalent to an American Mitsubishi Montero 1988 for which you can order any parts from most stores or find a hub to hub used axle at the wreckers.

I pulled mine over the weekend. Verified.

Check to see if the vent on the rear axle is plugged with mud. If you off road alot the vent will get plugged so when the diff gets hotter and needs to vent off the expanding air it has no where to go other than the path of least resistance - out the seal.
You'll probably still need a new seal if that is the case, but it will prevent future blow outs.

They should be. I haven't done the rears yet. Will do them in 2 weeks.

I heard from one person that the rears are different or at least the hardware/cyclinders.

As for the drums/shoes, I'll find out when I get to it.

I'll post my findings/part# crossovers.
