Ok got my truck inspected today and my registered ford mechanic told me the front pinion seal is leaking. Great and ford warranty ended. So now should i take it into the shop and have them fix it or do it myself. If i did it myself how hard would it be?

 

pull front shaft. pull pinion nut. pull yoke/flange. pull seal. reverse for install.dont over tighten the nut though.

 

Yeah, I need to replace mine too

 

So is this something that is common with rangers?

 

yeah

 

Mine just started this last weekend. Looks like I'm not going anywhere the early part of Saturday...

 

Mine is on its 3rd seal, and it's leaking. Honestly, I'm tired of screwing with it. I just keep an eye on the fluid, and let it ride.

 

its $100 to have someone replace it.. you need a special tool to do it on the rangers

 

x2

I installed my 3rd one in december and by march it was leaking again.

 

Stupid ford then. I called the shop and it is going to cost me around $180 to get it done.

 

How do i check the fluid levels?

 

open the fill and stick any finger that can fit lol..

mine is leakin too but shouldnt have IFS much longer

 

Thanks guys. I will defently have to check it out sunday when i get home from camping.

 

no you dont....

 

Ford replaced mine on my extended service plan in April and now its back there as I speak being replaced for nothing. If its under a year or 20,000 km and it leaks again they do it for nothing. Thats Canada anyway.

 

i just keep an eye on the fluid level.
as long as its not dripping in my driveway its fine
