What is a rear pinion seal?

The rear pinion seal is the seal on the rear end where the drive shaft goes into the rear end. It’s a fairly simple job to do. Remove the drive shaft, remove the seal and install new seal and drive shaft. At a shop it will probably run you about $80.

On the rear axle, in front, where the drive shaft connects to the rear end. That is the location of the pinion and it has a seal to keep fluid from leaking and keep dirt out. No idea about the cost of labor, but parts should be around 30 bucks (seal, oil, & gasket) I can do one in a few hours. Get this fixed quickly, its a LOT cheaper now than when the rear end wears out.

drop the driveshaft off the back of the rear end, take the yoke off the rear end and there,s the seal.
