Default How much?

So I am getting my drivers side differential output seal changed by a tech outside of his work place at his home. I figured since doing the driver side I should also replace passenger side. How much extra to do the passenger side as well do you think is a reasonable price? I have all the parts and fluids already purchased for job so price would be just for labor.

So doing the passenger side would be another 3-4 hours of labor?

The only real labor you're saving doing both at the same time is the time it takes to get the car in the air and back on the ground.

I do not think I would mess with the passenger side unless it is also leaking.

That's reasonable.

Most places are going to charge you $800-$1,200 to do both sides.

Normally the passenger side don't leak but if you are pulling the diff out might as well do it. In the end it's your call, good luck man...

Default Anyone

I apologize for being annoying. As I was packing up the 2 parts I would like to return, I noticed that there were two bags part #8904-7953. One labeled E and one labeled F (Attached pic of bags). I know that part # 19259473 are the same (so only need 1 of that part) but dont know which seal bag I need to return E or F, or do I need to keep both. I am only replacing the drivers side differential output seal, and will NOT be replacing the passenger side. Hope that makes sense, and thanks in advance for your help.
