Pinion Seal Question
I want to replace the pinion seal on the back of the tranny (M-21), the rear of the diff, and the side yokes on the diff. Are they all the same? Yes or no... can someone tell me where I can get these respective seals.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ok, so my local parts store had the rear seal for the M-21 tranny (the side the drive shaft goes into).
They also have the rear pinion seal for the diff. But they had no idea when I asked about the side yoke seals...
Are the side yoke seals the same as the diff rear pinion seal?
Any help?

that's what I've done for the rear pinion seal, but I dont want to take the side yoke seals out unless I know I get get the part... that's why I'm wondering if the side seals are the same as the rear pinion seal.

No they are all diffrent. I have also found if you log into Autozone or NAPA with your vehicle. You can find what you need and if they have it. With the part number in hand it saves a lot of time.
