And I would change the rear t case seal also. When putting stuff into the seals like torque converters and drive shafts dab your finger in transmission fluid and cover the ends of the shafts with tranny fluid so you don't tear your new seals

Oooo fancy lol. You do it right you won't have to worry bout it. Just cost the seal real good and put it together. My Ram I had, forgot to coat the tail housing seal, shoved the drive shaft in and called it good....two weeks later I had to pull the drive shaft. The seal has a point in the middle and it's beveled. well when I put the drive shaft in it it folded one of the points on the bottom and it was leaking like crazy
