It’s cool how you can almost immediately tell when someone knows what the fuck they’re doing. Good video
Hahaha thanks man!
thank you for adding the link for the flange yoke seal. STUPID DEALERSHIP wanted 185$ for the whole part and wont sell you the seal by itself. great set of videos! really helped me out!
You're welcome brother. The steelership just wants all of your money.
Thank you for the videos! I came for the pinion seal replacement, but I just kept watching and watching your videos. I like your approach to repairing/upgrading vehicles. It's definitely a skill you've honed and worked at over the years. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them. Got more parts on the way and more videos coming. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the video! I appreciate your careful, deliberate approach and for the links to the flange sleeve. Just what I needed. Keep it up!
Your welcome my friend! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for a good video. Good explanation of the pinion seal sleeve removal and the preload. Details not shown, or brushed over on other videos.
You're welcome and thank you
This is exactly what I need. I have been looking for a long long time for this. Thanks for posting. I had a pinion seal leaking, changed it, 1 month later it leaked again, changed it again, it leaked all the oil out and i got heavy pitting in my bearings. So I changed out my bearings after getting a press and a bunch of other tools. Still leaking. I know it has to be the yoke seal or adapter sleeve or what ever it is called here but I couldnt find anything at all about it until now. So thank you for this post man. ugh, I got a new yoke and all that good stuff and its all wrong. I didnt know until I pulled it all apart and put the new stuff in. ugh, long time now I have been dealing with this nonsense. there is an oil streak from my house to work all the way across the damn state. lol
You're welcome sir! You have to always change the yoke sleeve out! 99% of the time the yoke sleeve is what damages the pinion seal.
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 Its such good info. This problem has been going on for a while. I bought a new yoke because I couldnt find the yoke sleeve, I was calling it a yoke seal and every video i found brought up pinion seals. It has been very frustrating. The new yoke has the wrong size holes for the brackets that hold the u joint on so I have to take all that stuff back and try to find a sleeve. Are they called anything else other than yoke sleeve? I have a 2002 chevy astro 2wd 4.3l, I love it, but its been making a mess with all this oil leaking and costing a bunch in oil. Any info would be great. I just checked the website you mentioned but had no luck.

@@isolateddieselperformance3261 Omg, thank you so much bro. subbing.
@@sticknstonesbrkbones anytime brother! Let me know if you need anything else.
thank you. I replaced my pinion seal but didn't have an adequate in/lb torque wrench so I just counted threads and the number of turns required to remove the nut. When I put the new nut on and eventually got a good in/lb torque wrench the reading was very inconsistent between 40-50 in/lbs. I bought a new nut and I'll install it today using my recorded threading data. Lord willing it'll be okay.
Lord willing hope so. Keep a eye on it
Great explanation, I also seen to measure the distance from the nut to the outer housing using calipers and add .010”
Good job!!! Thank u for breaking it down had to do mine 😔 n get it done she was leaking
You're welcome!
Thank you for the detailed and skilled video. I'm having a hard time finding the flange seal for a '12 2500 6.7.
I saw this link
I have a link in the description for the yoke sleeve if that's what you're talking about
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 yessir. I had Mopar up and called napa, the kit on that website was cheaper than the seal alone. Thank you
Should I use a dura last seal or the seal from the suggested website?
Dude you ain’t gonna disturb that pinion. Impact nut off. Hammer yoke off. Dig seal out. Hammer new seal in. Hammer yoke on. Three ugga dugga impact tight yoke nut. Done. Never had an issue. It’s a front axle. It only has torque in 4x4. Your 1/2” impact literally will not change the crush on the crush sleeve in that axle so disturbing pinion depth and preload is near impossible
I've seen guys trash a front axle by not following procedure. With front ring and pinion in motion at all times it dont take long to trash one and Impact guns can damage bearing and race.You must have some good luck. I don't have that kind of luck. Thanks for watching.
I just got my first Cummins a couple weeks ago !! And it needs the same done to it !
Wish dodge would have put locking hubs in. That would save on the seals.
Nice video. I’ll drill a hole on the wood when replacing mine thanks lot
Very smart idea ! And then use a piece of pipe to drive against the wood !
I'm to lazy to drill a hole haha.
You didn't mention anything about replacing the collapsible sleeve (collar) that's included in the pinion seal replacement kit. What are your thoughts on this?
Never seen that come with a pinion seal kit. My thoughts is replace when needed because dropping the driveshaft is simple and fast.
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 thank you. I replaced my pinion seal but didn't have an adequate in/lb torque wrench so I just counted threads and the number of turns required to remove the nut.

I appreciate the video, was a huge help for replacing the seal on my 06 2500. I have everything back together and am in the process of tightening the nut to try and get the right rotational torque preload. The nut is just slightly (1/8 turn or so) tighter than before I removed it, and my preload is still the same and has not increased as I tighten the nut. Preload with brake calipers off was around 12 - 13 in lb to start. Should I be concerned with going much past the starting position of the nut to try and get that +5 in lb over starting torque?
It probably looks like your past your start position. Even if you count the turns you will still be off. Just tighten in very small increments and try to at least make it 3 inch pounds past your start reading. If you're still showing the same reading then you've not went far enough. Your torque wrench will tell you everything you need to know. Remember thats a crush sleeve behind the yoke and bearing and takes quite a bit torque to crush it more so you should be able to stay out of the danger zone as long as you tighten in very small increments and keep checking the preload.
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 Awesome, thank you again!
Just had my seal start leaking on my '12 with 239k miles on it. Where did you get the tool to keep the unit from spinning?
So would I have to take my wheels and etc off or could I just keep everything on? And can I just use your nut removal repetition method instead of the preload? (I know that it’s upon me, the viewer, if something wrong occurs not you)
If you are going to do the preload method (correct way) then yes take the wheels off. If you want to just count the turns on the nut then you can leave the truck on the ground but there's no way in hell I would do it that way. The correct way is the only way to do it without risk of damage. Your truck.....your decision brother!
Thank you for the quick reply. Going have a shop take care of it the preload confuses me a bit
You're welcome!
It’s really a brilliant design, just weird why so many leak compared to older 60’s and others that just seal on the yoke 🤷🏼
Newer ones are always spinning and if I remember right a lot of the old dana had locking hubs keeping the wear and tear down.
How do you check the pre load with the tires on the ground or in the air I have my axles out doing u joints currently and can’t get a preload on the nut
In that case you will have to wait till after you put your axles back in and mount your hubs back on. Leave your brakes and rotor off.
Well I just did my ball jointst/entire front end and t case fluid based on your other video and now I noticed the damn pinion is leaking!! I've got these awesome videos to help me so no worries. Have you replaced the the steering box and shaft yet? That, along with shocks, is on next year's list for me
No not yet. My truck has low miles so them parts not in the works yet! I might do a lift when it comes time to replace shocks
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 I just did a redhead and borgeson shaft yesterday. Do it, you won't regret it !
If I need to replace the bearing as well as that seal, can I get it out, or would I need to pull the whole differential apart?
You have to take all of it apart.
Very, very helpful vid - thx for posting!
Welcome sir!
Awesome video. Is that the same processed for a 2012 Ram 3500? I would think so...
Thanks man! Yes sir.
Good video i need do same thing to mine 05 dodge Cummins 4x4 im rounded up the rite tools now
Thanks man!
Very helpful video
Can you post the part number of the seal/sleeve that presses on the yoke? Thanks!

You dont happen to know the part number for the flang sleeve? Or where I can get it? Having a hard time finding it.

@@isolateddieselperformance3261 awesome thank you!!
thank you for putting the video. it is very helpful. I'm wondering where to that holding tool so I can crack the nut. sincerely.
You're better off making that tool. Its about $120 and I had to drill holes in it years ago just to get it to fit both of my dodge trucks.
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 thank you for your response.
I need to do the same thing to mine ....is their a way to take out the bearing as mine is shot ?
You will have to take the carrier and ring out and hammer the pinion out to get to the bearing. What makes you think its shot?
Where Did You Bought The Front Differential Gasket ?

Thank you buddy
You're welcome brother!
Did you build that yoke tool?
Yea but I copied it from a ford tool. I just drilled the holes to fit dodge yokes
@@isolateddieselperformance3261 you’re a pro, nice work
I wouldn't say that but thanks brother!
whats cost to have it done ?
Average about $250. Could be more or less depending on where you live
