HOW TO REPLACE A LEAKING REAR TRANSFER CASE OUTPUT SEAL CHEVY TAHOE, HOW TO REPLACE A OUTPUT SEAL, HOW TO REMOVE A OUTPUT SEAL, HOW TO REMOVE A DRIVESHAFT
As soon as you dropped "that's what she said"......I knew I could trust you. Thanks for the vid, gonna tackle this here in a couple days on the Silverado.
Good video! Straight to the point! That's what she said!! Sense of humor and not being condescending! Very educational and making your novice viewers more confident! Thanks!! Make more videos!!👍👍
Perfect timing for my finding your video. My coworker/mechanic diagnosed the rear seal on my Nissan Frontier transfer case. He told me exactly what your video shows. But he works on his driveway and isn't set up for doing it. And neither am I. Looks like I'll have to pay a regular mechanic to do it. Darn! Thanks for making it look easy. GO CUBS!!!!
"push it in.... and pull it out... that's what she said" haha you freakin' kill me. man I appreciate all the videos. I've got my 2005 tahoe running like a champ mostly thanks to your videos and some Chilton's manuals. My '96 K1500 Silverado Z71 is on it's way back from the dead. I've spent more time in the garage over the past 2 months than I have in my home. I've learned alot and again Rick, thank you sir.
I think I’m having the same problem, leaking a lot from the same spot but mine is 2wd. Should be roughly the same concept as this video right? Minus the t-case the seal is still the same?
Hi, great video thanks! I have a '99 Tahoe that is mildly leaking from the output seal on the rear transfer case. It only leaks while driving it and a little bit right after it's been driven. Thought about changing the seal myself, but a buddy told me it could be the bushings causing the leak and might be a little more difficult than just changing the seal. Any opinion on that? Thx!
This video made it look easy....but every part of this was difficult especially getting the seal back in even with the PVC pipe, I'm sure I'll have to replace mine again because the rubber got all torn up...
I have a 03 Tahoe and I think I’m having the same problem. Leakin like crazy. Only difference is mine is 2wd, not much would change as far as the process of replacing it right?
Thanks so much for this video. It doesn't look very difficult at all. I have a 1999 Tahoe that is leaking in the same spot. What's weird is that it looks a little bit like chocolate milk, but I don't know if that's just because it's mixing with dirt as it runs down. The transmission fluid is clean when I check it. It's just transmission fluid leaking out, correct? Thx!
This is quite some time after the video was posted, but would you have any advice for someone who can't get the old seal off? In my case that metal rim just bent away from the transmission without loosening.
Was your bushing in your tail shaft not in need of replacement also? I need to replace the seals on my NP208 and someone mentioned that I should also do the bushing. 🤷♂️
I just replaced my rear end and housing. After a couple hundred miles of mountain driving I lost my rear driveshaft. All the bolts that I touched including rear end input ujoint bolts were tightened and were still installed but I threw the entire driveline and completely lost the transfer case output yoke. Wondering what could have caused this. The truck does have a lift and I have been having some front suspension problems like with the sway bar keeps breaking the bolts.
Hey my man, you ever replace that bushing that goes in there with that seal? I think mines worn out. You gotta pull that whole cover off to get it out?
Is this similar for the 2wd ik I don’t have a transfer. I’m just trying to figure out how to do mine have a leak in similar spot with the fluid showing up underneath the truck
My truck looks like rubber ring is off of my seal but it's not leaking could this be something else idk how it came to be hanging there it was like that when I bought the truck
If you ever have to deal with the repercussions of an out of balance driveshaft you will realize why marking them prior to removal is important. Can completely shatter the magnesium transfer case.
When your U-joints are bad, that causes your tranfer case to wobble and shake everything (especially at higher speeds) thus causing wear to the seals over time. Replace your u- joints or you will keep replacing seals. Resolve the cause.
I was losing my damn mind cuz every vid i watched they said to mark it so that it goes back in the same way. Well i ddnt and I was like "fuk! I gotta by a new truck now".
Bro look at your U-Joints.. I'm sure that's why you're having to replace your transfer case seal. When those U-joints are bad, your shaft wobbles. The shaft wobble making your seal wear and tear after while.
Hey Rick, I saw that you did not replace the bushing inside that transfer case. Did you experience a premature failure of the new seal? I got the same issue here with my G20 and I am a bit worried changing only the seal could cause the same issue soon again.
I'm just now replacing my output shaft seal for a 2nd time in 3 years and it's only been 10k miles. I wonder if that bushing your talking about has caused mine to go bad in that short amount of time.

Hi thanks for the easy to look video i did mine like in 1 hr save me a lot of time anyways after i replaced the seal the truck is making a little sound is that normal or is something wrong is not leaking oil anymore but that Squeal noise is making me mad 😡 any ideas ? thank u
did the U joints seat properly? sometimes I have greases up the splines to quiet it down a bit...was there rust on the yoke? grease up the U joints? the seal centered with the spline in the transfer case? U joints old?
RICKAFIX hi yeah the u joints did seat right , and yeah they were rusty i cleaned them out with brake cleaner and then i did put grease on them i torqued them down to 20 fp , this morning the noise wasn't that loud at all and its going away.
Take the truck outta neutral next time when ur torquing it up :P you line the drive shaft up because of the wear on it and because of the way it was manufactured, this way you arnt fighting with the damn thing putting it back in on reassembly.

HaHa! "Push it out, that's what she said." Rick, you've been hanging out with the wrong women. All the ones that I hung out with would say, "push it in deeper." Seriously, nice work there and good tip on your PVC cap. I've noticed your digital torque wrench in a couple of your videos now. I've been in the market for one and was wondering who makes the one that you're using. And do you like it? Thanks Rick...
Thanks Terry lol I do like the Craftsman 3/8 in Dr. Digi-Click Torque wrench 5-8- ft.lbs..you just turn the knob to the correct setting very simply...at sear its around 130 but they have sales and I picked it up for 75. buy it online get the coupon and go pick it up at the store..I love the pvc caps haha
Week two of my truck being parked due to the effing driveshaft not going past an inch of the way in. How TF is it so easy for yall... my rustbox is a nightmare stg.
Vincent Hill remove old seal and take to auto shop, of give the shop your truck info and they’ll get it for you; trust me, every truck is different , since this dude isn’t responding to you lol
Bad U-joints. When your U-joints are bad, that causes your tranfer case to wobble and shake everything (especially at higher speeds) thus causung wear to the seals over time. Replace your u- joints.

+dubyasee ell your welcome dub
Good instructional video thank you. I stopped and got a 2 inch ID PVC joint to pound the new seal in.
Thanks for the video you got straight to the point.
Quick and to the point. Great video aboit to do this on my 02 Chevy blazer as well.
Perfect video straight to the point also I seen a video were they use a piece of 2×4 with a hole in it but I like the gasket idea also
Dude you rock! Thanks for posting this vid.
Gracias amigo. Fast and easy. That’s what she said. Thx for sharing
Good video...to the point, with some humor!!
GM did us all a solid by putting the outer lip so it can be knocked out from the back side.
Great vid!
Stay gold.
Thank you Rick for your tutorial, will help me a lot tomorrow, since a have that problem with my Suburban.
I think I’m having the same problem, leaking a lot from the same spot but mine is 2wd. Should be roughly the same concept as this video right? Minus the t-case the seal is still the same?
AWESOMENESS!!! and thanks man!!! ;)
Absolutely outstanding!
thanks for the video. I'm heading to my garage here in Aurora ,IL (GO CUBS) to do the same thing. I wanted to make sure it was as easy as it looks.
+Jose Ochoa it is...can't wait for spring training...took my nephew to game 2 in Cleveland was awesome

This is quite some time after the video was posted, but would you have any advice for someone who can't get the old seal off?
In my case that metal rim just bent away from the transmission without loosening.
Thank you. Gonna pickup that pvc 2” I gotta do mine on the 01 silver 1500 4.8 auto with 261 case shaft on mine is 48 mm.
Thanks buddy, just got er done in 25 minutes and I barely have an experience lmao.

+tou bee Yang your welcome
Thanks man
First vid I watched when you hit me with the thats what she said I subscribed
Very intersting the video.
Nice job
My truck is leaking from somewhere but not sure if it’s from transfer case won’t move forward or reverse
Is this similar for the 2wd ik I don’t have a transfer. I’m just trying to figure out how to do mine have a leak in similar spot with the fluid showing up underneath the truck
Same here bro. Just a 2wd and I'm sure it's the seal, or could be bad u joints.
Pretty cool and ease to do video !
yeah not that big of deal
Thanks bro
My truck looks like rubber ring is off of my seal but it's not leaking could this be something else idk how it came to be hanging there it was like that when I bought the truck
Can a whining noise occur right under the cab when having to replace this?
you keep it simple, and thats what humanoids want, LOL Thanks man!!!!
Is the process the same for a 2wd tahoe?
Excellent
How do I refill the fluids after doing this job
This is the same process for a 2005 1500 Silverado right
Was the fluid drained or is there not much fluid to worry about?
Is there usually a noise that comes from it when it’s leaking?
Rick I have an 02 GMC Yukon Denali and need to change my TC output seal. What is the part number on that seal? Where can I purchase it?
+Jermaine Jones go buy it online and pick it up at the autoparts store they will give you the number when you put your truck info I'm website
Awesome awesome
If you ever have to deal with the repercussions of an out of balance driveshaft you will realize why marking them prior to removal is important. Can completely shatter the magnesium transfer case.
I have...vibrations at 65 -70mph....took the speed shop 6 trys to get it correct....i have never marked mine in 35 years
@@RICKAFIX did they figure out what it was? I have a vibration at the same speeds
@@RICKAFIXDid they ever figure out the cause of the vibrations? I have the same problem around 75mph.
So easy!!
Well done, I still have the original seal almost 290 km. Ya I never mark the drive shaft either.
the driveshaft should be balanced so whats the difference lol...thanks buddy
STEVE ROB how to replace a leaking oil seal driveshaft and transmission from chevroleyt astro 2. 000
So i had mine replaced by the shop a few months ago but theres still fluid comming from the area when i park it. Is there something else I'm missing
When your U-joints are bad, that causes your tranfer case to wobble and shake everything (especially at higher speeds) thus causing wear to the seals over time. Replace your u- joints or you will keep replacing seals. Resolve the cause.
So u don’t replace the rubber sleeve? U just take plastic seal out and put the new plastic seal inside that rubber sleeve?
I counted 4 other instances where "that's what she said" could have been added. She sure knows best!
+Thomas EXOVCDS haha suck a great line
+RICKAFIX such lol
I replaced mine and it still leaks. Could it be the bearing going bad?
I was having problems removing my old seal. I found if there is any lip at all you can use an air chisel and pop it right out
yeah it is one of the easier seals to replace
I was losing my damn mind cuz every vid i watched they said to mark it so that it goes back in the same way. Well i ddnt and I was like "fuk! I gotta by a new truck now".
Bro look at your U-Joints.. I'm sure that's why you're having to replace your transfer case seal. When those U-joints are bad, your shaft wobbles. The shaft wobble making your seal wear and tear after while.
Thinking. I like it.
Warrior Spirit wtf is a u joint lol
I have oil leaking from this seal on my Silverado. could this cause a slight grinding noise when I drive? I hear it coming from my drive shaft
Might be the transfer case itself. You sure its the drive shaft? My silverados heat shield rattles like a bitch.
k
Bad u-joints. Hence, Bad u-joints will also transfer case seal leaks.
Hey Rick, I saw that you did not replace the bushing inside that transfer case. Did you experience a premature failure of the new seal? I got the same issue here with my G20 and I am a bit worried changing only the seal could cause the same issue soon again.

Can u put grease on there?
Do you know what size transfer case it is. There are three sizes and each seal is different?
call gm parts department and give them your vin number and they will tell you which one to get
Hi thanks for the easy to look video i did mine like in 1 hr save me a lot of time anyways after i replaced the seal the truck is making a little sound is that normal or is something wrong is not leaking oil anymore but that Squeal noise is making me mad 😡 any ideas ? thank u
did the U joints seat properly? sometimes I have greases up the splines to quiet it down a bit...was there rust on the yoke? grease up the U joints? the seal centered with the spline in the transfer case? U joints old?
and also there is that rule of anytime you fix something something else goes wrong lol
RICKAFIX hi yeah the u joints did seat right , and yeah they were rusty i cleaned them out with brake cleaner and then i did put grease on them i torqued them down to 20 fp , this morning the noise wasn't that loud at all and its going away.
Hi where is your store?
Take the truck outta neutral next time when ur torquing it up :P you line the drive shaft up because of the wear on it and because of the way it was manufactured, this way you arnt fighting with the damn thing putting it back in on reassembly.
I'm trying to do this on my Silverado but I cant see to get the driveshaft off any tips?
daulby 22
Place a crow bar in between the driveshaft and the metal that connects to the differential. Softly wiggle it and it will come right out.
What torque wrench is that rick?

Thanks Rick, I appreciate the info...
Buff off the rust on the shaft to insure that it doesn't scratch the new seal . And lube the yoke when installing. But was still good video
My is leaking pink fluid on that seal 😭😢 replacing the seal will fix that problem?
Did you do it yet? If so was that the issue? I have the same issue, I already bought the seal hoping it fixes it.
Im going through the same thing i replaced my seal and was still leaking found out it was the bushing also replace both if you can
"That's what she said" HAH!
lol
What kind of oil do you use to lube the shaft lol. Great video I have some bearing grease can I use that instead of oil?
My question as well!
Did you find out
You forgot the ky gel when putting the shaft back in
Week two of my truck being parked due to the effing driveshaft not going past an inch of the way in. How TF is it so easy for yall... my rustbox is a nightmare stg.
What’s the seal part #
Have any idea for the part # for the seal?
Vincent Hill remove old seal and take to auto shop, of give the shop your truck info and they’ll get it for you; trust me, every truck is different , since this dude isn’t responding to you lol
“Let’s wipe it off with a rag”. That’s also what she said
What’s the part number ?
That's what she said, "Just slip it back in there"
What could cause the front and rear output shift seals to leak at the same time.
Bad U-joints. When your U-joints are bad, that causes your tranfer case to wobble and shake everything (especially at higher speeds) thus causung wear to the seals over time. Replace your u- joints.
I can't even get mine in
What type of oil do you use to oil the seal
It wouldn't hurt to use whatever goes in the box.
