Anyone ever change the seal on a 02 F150..Center section..Were it comes out to u.joints..Thanks

 

what?

 

Might want to elaborate on that a little more.

 

Started making a popping sound when i put it in gear..

 

you have more problems then just a leaking pinion seal

what is your exact problem

 

It's not giving me any problems..Noticed the seal yesterday..

 

This is a very common thing on most trucks, no matter the brand.

This is a fairly simple fix. You will need a new seal, new crush sleeve, and if you are the least bit uncomfortable with the front pinion bearing, replace it. The crush sleeve takes a specific torque to set it, depending on if 8.8 or 9.75 (yours 9.75). After that, you just reinstall the drive shaft and you are good to go.

I'm not sure was Djf... was saying it needed more work, but that is what I see to be the problem. I may not be seeing something he did, but from my view that is the repair.that is needed. Maybe he can elaborate on what he sees different.

Oh yeah, don't forget to clean it up with some good red can brakleen. Blow it with air as you spray and it will dry up that oil that has accumulated by the seal leak.

 

...Thanks for the help..

 

I've just about got everything to upgrade&replace the hole Chassis &Driveline..The rest of truck has been done..
