You have to point the rear half down and pound the old seal out. Clean up the mating surface to make sure everything is good.
Then stand the rear half on bench/table with the end pointing up so you can install the new seal. I make special tool for doing this so I wouldn't damage the seal and make my life easier, haha :thumb:. It takes me about 5 - 10 minutes with that tool.
I hope that makes cents.
If you have access to dry ice you could put the seal in that so it shrink down a little. That way it should install easier. I would do this as a last resort though.
If you want any specs on that tool or want to borrow it let me know.

okay. so pound It out from the inside of the case? Then the new one goes in from the outside.
I'm assuming the bushing comes out the tail section as well
Correct. The seal is all one piece thats at the very end of the housing.
PM'd you back.

All depends on stance you want. If they are level and the rear is stock height, you will have a hell of a rake. If you put 3" drop shackles on the back, then you can adjust the front until the truck sits level. The have some angle from the factory though.
Don't really mind the looks just want healthy angles for launching. I'm assuming dead level should be good.
They sell a o ring kit for the filter head at NAPA. Was if list as a Dmax filter head rebuild kit or what?
I need a new one for the hand pump after my rebuild its leaking now I think...
Yeah I asked em for a filter head rebuild kit.
and I had to talk em through what it was but they had em
omaha123, when I flipped the trans cooler on mine I noticed the panel below the cooler was not attached and was more than likely flipping up and blocking air flow while cruising down the highway. Pop the grill loose and check yours.....:woott:

I noticed you were thinking about doing your own Allison transmission build and I am preparing to do mine as well. Here is what I have found for helpful information.
The two books to the far left IMHO are the best the two to the right are what comes most recommended from the masses on the forum. I have one more manual on its way it is the actual GM service manual the second from the right is Allison's service manual.

Definetly am gonna pick up those books.
Trans build sorta got pushed to back burner. As I just bought a new to me bass boat...
Looks good.
On the leaky axle seals I have had them on my last lbz and my lb7, and it just kept happening, I finally took them to a shop and both had bent axle tubes that didn't allow the seal to seal. Gm warrantied my lbz and we junk yarded the lb7 with a low mile axle.
