Front axel seal replacement

Just got a 1979 K20 and the right front axel seal is leaking really bad. How big of a job is it to replace those seals? Thanks for any advice given!!

2 hours tops......with the tools and a bit of mechanical ability. Remove everything in the way....put it all back in when yer done.

If you can program a TV remote.......you can replace those seals.

Any special tools that would be needed? Thanks!

Seal driver and puller, but in a pinch a socket will work too

Might want to pull the bearing too while hes at it, might be the cause of the seal failure.

Very good point and very true.

Website, I don't know, but a service manual ain't that hard to come by. Supposedly, Autozone has the ability to print step by step instruction now, check them out.
