Im having a problem getting my car into ford to fix this leak. They just are not calling me back. They said they could have the parts in one day on monday, i call yesterday and today no call back. I am running the car friday at summitt, thats 120 minutes of up and down through the gears and i cant get my money back. I need this fixed.
Can i do this myself? Some of you said it was the pinion seal what parts do i need and is there a write up on it.
The guy at ford told me i need to replace a one time use only crush sleeve and a one time use only bolt just to take out the driveshaft and do this? I dont know what he is talking about.
nobody can do it at this point. somebody said if is not puddling i probably could run it. LOL, im not crazy about that idea, breaking something asside the last thing i need is to hit a sharp turn on this circuit where this no shoulder just a wall and have some freaking fluid on my tires.
07, don't know who is coming through, but there's a couple things here. You might be experiencing the leak due to the plastic exterior seal that sits right behind the flange. Normally an easy fix, by simply pulling the shaft down, removing the pinion nut, slipping off the flange, then removing the seal. The seal in my opinion is a piece of ****.
Personally, I think you will be okay, mopping the pumpkin between rounds. Top off the fluid befor you go and top it off again when you get home. Then replace that seal.
15-20 minutes tops even when working on your back on the floor.
As for the crush cleeve issue, I would follow spydershafts instructions which say a new one is not necessary. As you know I've done about 10 of them now with no new crushes per instruction and zero leak.
