Hi there,

I know there has been discussions on these before, has anyone been able to source boots the same as or equivalent to the originals from an after market supplier?

Thanks for the replys. Will defintely change the filter and see how that goes.

A/T light comes on at startup so probably working ok.

I have also found out that it may be the solenoid that controls the lockup, could be faulty. That is bolted to the outside of the transmission somewhere ...

Cool will keep that in mind.

My Pinion seal isn't leaking though (unfortuntely, as thats an easy one to fix :cry: ). Any tips on the axle removal and diff centre removal to get to the main seal?

Thanks for the reply.

I reckon that would have been the Pinion Seal that was replaced not the main seal. The main seal or whatever its called is the one between the two faces where the centre attaches around the 10 bolts.

Removing rear diff centre?

Hi Guys,

The main seal in my rear diff is leaking and would like to replace it.

Has anyone here done this before? Is it relatively easy?

I know I will have to remove the axel shafts before I can take the centre out. Do you have to take them all the way out or can you just pull them out a ...

I have Blueriders in my Paj and think they are excellent.
Local 4wd place said they sell over 12 per month and never had one come back. Think they cost me about 120 each and mechanic reckoned (also our local ARB rep) you need to spend over $300 to get something better.
