Driveshaft Slip Joint Seal
 

The seal for the slip joint on my two piece driveshaft is shot. Where do you get a new seal? I dont think I can replace the seal because I can't get the collar loose. How do you keep the grease in the yoke without a seal?

I have had good luck getting the collars off by spraying them with penetrant, tapping around the collar with a hammer and then use a channel lock pliers to remove them. I have yet had to use heat, but that is an option.

Thanks for the tip. After soaking it for a couple of days and a few gentle taps with the hammar it came right apart. What a great board.

Okay, so you got it off...where did you find a new seal?

Try LMC truck or Ecklers.

Any driveline shop will have them. How are the slip and stub? If they have lateral play they shouldbe replaced.

LMC, nope. Ecklers, nope. Driveline shops, pretty thin on the ground these days. Just re-used the old seal. It's a driver, not a showpiece.

How about you just go to your local Oreilly's and pick one up for 10.00 :mm:
