hi,
i did a lot of research but did not find what i was looking for.
i have a 98 blazer 4 door 4x4.
it leaks diff oil on the driver side.

im looking for a drawing of the front diff on a 98. i only found for a 97.
the reason im lookinf for this is to help me visualize the job.

i also need parts number for the 2 seals. i heard one of them is pressed on a plate and is sold allready pressed with the plate, and the other should only be as seal.
autoparts near my house cant find the seals and told me to go to the dealer. i did , and the dealer tells me its part number: 12471586 and is 20$ each - how can they be the same number if one comes with a plate !?

so if you have any infos/help for me please tell me !

thank you,
Anthony

 

here ya go ....hope this helps....google for the win

searched "98 blazer front diff diagram"

Exploded diagram of the front diff. and CV's - S-10 Forum

take pics of the process...others will appreciate it alot.

 

Check out the diagrams on Compnine.com. They give you part numbers too.

 

thanks for the replys guys ! sorry for google, i only searched on here since i usually find what i need here.

ok now i found the part number for the driver side plate 12471587, but i would like to make sure the seal will come with the plate ?
and i heard i should also change the bearing since it may be the cause for the leak ?
i found 26053326 , can i install this from the hole behind the plate ? or i need to open the diff case ?

thanks again for your time/help !

Anthony

 

im going to do this soon so i would like to know if the bearing can be replaced from behind the seal plate ?
