Possible blown rear differential seal
Hello everyone.
I have been a ford owner for 16 years now and between me and my family we have owned over 18 different ford vehicles. That being said, I am currently driving a 2006 F-150 FX4. I was changing my rear breaks last night and when I took off the passanger side rear drum there was greese all over the parking break. I talked to my brother and we believe that it is the rear differential seal. Now it has been quite some time since I have done any maintenance on a truck other then the normal stuff. Anyone have a tips, links or advice as to how to get this done. Are there any electronic repair instructions posted.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help and if I posted this in the wrong place sry.

first put on jack stands and take off tires........ok first off take of your rear diff cover step 2,there is a pin going between 2 of ur spider gears this needs to be removed[on my 02' i think it was a 8mm bolt] after this is out your pin should pull right out, step 3 push in on your axel from the out side it should go in about a half inch once it is pushed in this should expose a "C" clip use a pair of needle nose pliyers to pull this off the axelafter this u should be able to pull out the axel now a tip on getting the seal out..put the end of the axel into the seal about a quarter inch and pull towords u and it will pop right out... to get the new seal in get a big *** socket i cant reamember what size i used any ways palce the seal in the axel and gently tap it in using the socket and a hammer tap it in evanly though,now just reapeate this step on the outher side and u are done......to get it back together just reapeat all the steps backwards
ps i used coper gasscet silicone as a seal around the diff cover,make sure to fill with new diff fluid.
