Replacing transfer case rear seal
93 F250, 5spd, bw1356 transfer case. How hard to replace leaky rear shaft seal? Any special tools needed? Anything else to look at while I'm doing it? Has 165k on it. Haynes & Chilton aren't much help.

Job is pretty straightforward. Remove the drive shaft. Pry out the old seal taking care not to gouge the housing. Find something suitable to drive the new seal in, making sure it’s square and flush. While the drive shaft is out look at the yoke scoring and the bushing for wear.

The only thing I would add is that it helps install the seal to spread a little bit of chassis or wheel bearing grease either on the outside of the seal or inside the housing - it helps keep the seal from catching if it's a little off square when initially driving it in.
