Default Front Axle leak, nv236 question, transmission bar?

Ok so I got alldata and according to them these are my tropoids...... uh OK. So are these my differential seals leaking? Does that normally require axle bearings being replaced? If so can I just take the CVs off, or do i have to remove the spindle nut and everything else?

Ok next question this goes into the motor on my 236 tcase, any ideas how to replace the wires and plug, as you can see its broke and the previous owner used a zip tie, lots of moisture and corrosion, also 4x4 doesn't work, so i guess this could be the culprit.

Is your front diff low on fluid? Does it leave spots on the driveway? If not, I wouldn't bother replacing the seals, but that is definitely gear oil and not CV grease.

You can disassemble the plug and replace it with a junkyard replacement. You will need a terminal tool to release the catches inside the plug.

That bolt is likely an M12x1.75 bolt. Probably around 25mm long.

It does leave spots, but a drop here and there, I was gonna SAS it anyways, just another reason to do it. Thanks for the rest.
