flange seals - transmission
I'll have my front axles out and wondering if I should change the seals while I'm right there. They're not leaking now...
I was able to do the rears w/o removing the axle. Do you think that will work for the fronts too ? If so, I'll leave them alone. I haven't seen many posts about these as compared to the prop shaft and rear diff leaks so maybe it's not an issue.

Re: Personally, I wouldn't touch them
Great, I guess I have bigger problems to worry about then my axles huh ?
It's a tough call. If they start leaking in a couple of weeks, I'll kick myself. Doesn't seem to be as trouble prone as the other seals though so maybe I'll leave well enough alone.
Are you getting back to New Haven anytime soon ?

pulled the axles off tonight. Just waiting for control arms and new ones to show up.
Output flange on the drivers side does not have a torx bit visible to remove it, pass side does. Either way, they both look bone dry so I'm leaving them alone.

Does anyone need any pics while I have the axles and arms removed ?
