2004 FX4 Front Differential leak
2004 FX4 Front Differential leak
Hello all!
I just changed out my oil filter adapter gasket (that was fun) and discovered I have a leaking front diff. I can see it’s coming from the gasket (RTV). I’ve changed my rear but never the front.
Long story short, I can see that it’s not as easy as the rear.. My question: Can I unbolt the Rack and push it up to achieve the clearance to get the cover off the diff ? Without having to knock out the tire rods?
I’m no mechanic but I do like to do what I can myself. Had her since she was new. I normally watch a bunch of videos and go to town but I’ve found nothing for the front diff that’s of any use.
thanks for reading!
