Rear end seal gone bad

Well. It was time to change both the front and rear brakes today.
The right rear wheel seal has gone bad and needed immediate help.
Interesting as you can see the inside pad hardly worn as a result of the grease coating the disc and not allowing it to work, hence no wear, not to mention the gear oil level inside.

Thought it would be interesting to share, knowing that it's not uncommon for these rear ends to blow out seals.

As a 3.73 LS type, you have to pull the housing cover and pull the c clips out to remove the axle. Once in there, it only made sense to do both sides.



You can see the grease on the outside of the disc too.



A close up of the inside pad with all the guber.

Such a shame, you try your best to raise them right and they still go bad on you.
