So I decided to replace the tailshaft seal because of a small leak..and what a nightmare this has become. To make a long story short...I had the car up on the lift, pulled the shaft, dropped the oil in the tranny and changed it to RP synchromax only to find out that Ford sent me the wrong seal. Its so small it wont even slip over the yoke of the driveshaft. If anyone has any pictures, part #'s or tips to help me out...it would be greatly appreciated , otherwise im ready to throw my driveshaft through the window in the shop. [:@] Also, it the dust boot part of the seal?? and does the dust boot have to be removed to get to the seal? I was told this is a fairly easy install... The part # on the bag that the seal came in is 1R3Z 7052 AA ?????

 

anybody??
