my pinion seal has been bad for a while. How much work would it be to replace it?

 

i had a post here but edited it because im a retard and am pretty sure i was way off in left feild lol so good luck with the issue and sorry for the false hope haha

 

There's actually two pinion seals, an inner and outer. The outer can be done, if I remember right, by removing the driveshaft. The inner requires you to remove the differential (and disassembling the pinion shaft) which is a lot of work, especially since it requires some special tools to do correctly.

I had a mech rebuild my diff for $450, it might be worth doing if its leaking really bad.

 

im showing two bearings and one seal 93 gm part #26026792. looks like the seal should not be to tough. u will need to be able to get the yoke off so a puller will be needed.

 

alright that seems like its a little out of my hands cuz i have a cheap tool set and thats about it. how much should it cost for someone to fix this?

 

call or go to your local dealer and ask. should not be that much or take that long. im thinkin a hundred bucks but the costs nowdays are crazy going up.

 

Sorry, you're right, there's two bearings but one seal. I think the seal is replaced from the outside, no?

 

ok another question is how much would a tranny all the way to the rear end from a z28 cost and would it all fit? I figure that if i just got a rear end from a z28 that worked it would just fix alot of problems and this pinion seal thing.

 

I don't think the T56 trans will bolt up to a 3.4/3.8, but the driveshafts and rear ends are interchangable. The Z28 driveshafts are sometimes aluminum too, which is better than the steel ones and definitely better than the 2-piece steel units that the V6's came with.

 

yes but u need to take the yoke off.
