Timken 710648 Axle Shaft Seal

Easy to install, good quality, and it fixed the leak

Fitment was good and these have held up well compared to some of the cheaper seals at parts stores.

2002 Silverado 5.3 4x4 front axle seal. Fit great.

went right in with no issues, no more leaking axle seals, got my quad back up and running again quick and cheap

This seal was used for the passenger side in er axle seal or otherwise known as the axle tube. Unplug and take off the 4x4 actuator (twist off counter clockwise to make room to work) You can remove the tube, 5 bolts at the pumpkin. 6 bolts on cv axle end all 15mm. Two i think 19mm bolts for the outboard side of the tube. Mind how the parts come out for the shift fork and washers when it opens up. and tap the axle out its held on with a retention ring so hit the axle down and it will fall out. Change the seal and bearing whatever you need to do. Then reinstall it easiest to push the cv axle to the front to make way for the install of this axle tube. Take note: parts will come out with the tube. The slide ring bevel goes towards the tube and the flat end towards the pumpkin. Have all parts in the tube except the 4x4 solenoid. Install that last since its just in the way you push it in with some pressure and turn clockwise. Because you removed the tube only for the passenger side you only need about a quarter of a quart to top off the fluid if the rest of yours is clean still. You will say the four letter words and curse GMC but in the end you will succeed and know you saved yourself about 500.00 and only used 2 hours of your time and common hand tools to accomplish this. 👍

The media could not be loaded. Left n right seals for front differential on gmt800. Went in great with a 2x4 and hammer. Used a $10 seal puller to remove. Old seals were leaking at 100k. Also changed the bearings. SCH208 passenger side, b2010 driver side

The seals I got looked to be in good quality. I have used many seals from this brand in the past and never had any issue.Unfortunately my stub shaft won't come loose no matter how much I beat on it.Keeping it anyway just in case if I come across same leaky diff from other vehicles. If you have issue getting the stub shaft out to replace the seal, try traditional Dyno gear lube (non full or partial synthetic type) and some at205 seal conditioner. Might keep it from leaking for a while longer. This is what I ended up doing. No drips anymore.

Its a good quality seal. I purchased this to replace a cheaper brand that leaked after I had installed it. This new one also leaked so i suspect i may have a different problem. Timken makes a good product.
