Took the driveshaft out of the 90 and it poured out a little fluid, put the driveshaft back in and noticed the seal was a little worn and half broke off, now its leaking. How hard is this to change? What is this seal called?
Thanks!

You pop the seal out with a lady's foot bar or a screwdriver and A hammer.Becarfull not to gouge the housing when removing the seal
Clean the bore were the seal will go.Put a little sealer on the out side of the seal and drive in straight.You can use a board or even a scoket.Just make shure it goes in the same depth.
Also check the shaft for groves made by the seal.If there is a grove on the shaft you can fix that by not drive the seal in as far so it rides on a smooth surface.0.30" differance will work.
what we have here is how to change most seals.Inspect everything and go slow.
Good luck.
