[@geoffcorey2272]

Thanks for posting this, well explained process. After watching, I have successfully replaced left and right axle seals on my 2014 Silverado with 210000 km.

Thanks I do these to help people when I can.

Thanks man had the same problem with 2012 Chevy silverado had to use a chisel to move the axle far enough to get the c clip out

[@BigFrogs4x4]

Hope it helped you some. Thanks for watching.

[@gregvaldez22]

Use c clamp on hub and other side of c clamp to where the brake caliper bold hole is on the axle and it will press the axle in far enough to remove/ re install c clip. Had same issue

[@MartinezTrucking]

Very nice video. You should do a video of the parking shoe replacement next.

[@BigFrogs4x4]

I would but it's not my truck and the guy who owned it traded it for a newer ram with air ride suspension. Sometime in the coming months he has me installing a bds 4" lift on it.

[@jeremypyottjr7835]

Agree with the RTV on the seal. I'm doing mine this weekend coming.

[@BigFrogs4x4]

Good luck. Fun times!

[@TrailAdventuresTV]

Great vid! Can't wait to put a strait axel under the front of the ZR2. Nah just kidding.. Have a good one brother.

[@BigFrogs4x4]

I was looking at mine a while back. It's doable lol

[@BigFrogs4x4]

Whens your new video coming out

[@TrailAdventuresTV]

We have a trail video coming out in a few minutes. However it’s not with the ZR2. Wifey wanted to drive her Jeep.

[@BigFrogs4x4]

No problem. I like your videos anyway

[@georges4562]

Great video ! How’s the ZR-2 ? I just bought a 2020 and loving it so far.

[@BigFrogs4x4]

It's good. We primarily use it for long trips now since my wife has been working from home.

[@bcar1ify]

No need to put anything on the gasket. I reused mined after a fluid change it is fine.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Great Review thank you 👍🇺🇲 The Vermonter

[@mikeo.1593]

I suspect I have a very small seal leak on my 3500 srw would it better to replace or just keep an eye on fluid level

[@BigFrogs4x4]

It will need replaced if it's getting anywhere near the brakes. Some states it won't pass inspection. But yes, keep an eye on the fluid level. Rebuilding a rear differential is very expensive.

[@miguelortiz5864]

Great video men, do you know the torque spec for the cross pin bolt?

[@BigFrogs4x4]

I'd have to Google it. I have done so many i go by feel. Never had 1 come out. If you can't find it let me know and I will look for it.

[@mxrevival]

Good job dude

[@BigFrogs4x4]

Thank you

[@sharker161]

So I’m to the point of turning the driveshaft to release the pin and it will not turn more than a few inches in both directions..Any thoughts? Yes i’m in neutral

[@BigFrogs4x4]

So driveshaft wont turn?

[@BigFrogs4x4]

Put transfer case in neutral if you can. If you have the calipers off don't hit the brake pedal

[@dw1985]

I have to do this on my 2001 S10. Any idea how much a shop would charge to do it?

[@BigFrogs4x4]

It is hard to say. Depends on labor rate and if all goes well. No rust etc. Although I think the s10 is easier.

[@dw1985]

@@BigFrogs4x4 Can you take n educated guess, ballpark figure?

[@BigFrogs4x4]

If charging $70 per hr then 2-3 hr labor. Are they doing 1 side or both. 1 probably closer to 2 hr

[@dw1985]

@@BigFrogs4x4 I just got the one side to do.
