I have a slow leak on my 2010 F150 4x4 at the rear pinion seal. It is not fast enough to leave oil on the ground but is fast enough to coat most of the diff with oil, especially after the last cold snap.
Anybody have any advice on how tough of a job this would be? I consider myself above an above average driveway mechanic, do all my own oil, change spark plugs, replace brake rotors, help a friend replace his intake manifold and carb on an old truck, etc. Am I right in thinking this is too critical of a job to do myself or is it even easier than it appears on YouTube?
The truck is not a daily driver now, but if anything happened for me to lose my company truck (tough times in the oil patch) it would need to be. For the same reasons I would like to save money and do it myself if it seems like I have a reasonably low chance of messing it up further.
Any insight would be appreciated.
