Got Diff fluid in Right Rear wheel
Which seal do I need to replace? My 99 f-250 has oil in the wheel, and all under the flat bed where it has been coming out. How much does that thing hold because I may have to drive it a little more before changing it.

they are pretty easy to change and they are only 13 bucks at www.discountfordpartsaty2k.com. You can run for a while but i would just change them out as soon as you get a chance.

How hard are they to replace ? Are there any links or write ups ? I think mines out. I've replaced two calipers thinking it was brake fluid.

Not hard at all to replace. When I did mine the hardest part was paying $45 for the socket to take the hub nut off. Also a good time to put on an aluminum differential cover and change to synthetic gear oil

Yeah, you need that special socket or it's a PITA and you stand a good chance of not getting the nut correctly torqued.
The seal is mounted on the inside of the hub if I remember correctly.

Yep, the seal is inside. I priced that special socket at my parts house and they wanted close to $50 for it. Luckily, I know a couple guys at a garage that had one. I couldn't see paying that kind of money to use a socket twice.
