Just got a 1979 K20 and the right front axel seal is leaking really bad. How big of a job is it to replace those seals? Thanks for any advice given!! |
========
2 hours tops......with the tools and a bit of mechanical ability.
Remove everything in the way....put it all back in when yer done.
If you can program a TV remote.......you can replace those seals.

Website, I don't know, but a service manual ain't that hard to come
by. Supposedly, Autozone has the ability to print step by step
instruction now, check them out.
