Hello All-Front Pinion Seal Replace

Wonderful, its 23 degree's here in Michigan and guess what? yup, my ford ranger needs a front pinion seal replaced. I have a 2000 4x4 V6. It looks like its dripping from the seal as the front drive shaft goes into the front 4x4 wheel differential. I am not an expert on truck repair, so please bear with me if my terms are not correct. If anyone has links or pix's or even video of doing this, it would be a blessing. Last summer I replaced the rear pinion seal, so I am hoping it is the same scenario or similar.

thank you

Welcome to RF!

Post up your problem in the drivetrain forum. This way we can be of better help.

Do you have any pictures of the leak? Do you see any evidence of leaking on the front differential?
