Re: {Chrysler 300} 1963 Chrysler 300 Rear End Leak

Mark,

Should not be job you cannot handle at home. With DS and yoke off, you punch 
hole into seal case and pry out.  Apply a small amount of silicon around new 
seal, re-install. I recommend a block of wood (2x4) or steel plate to drive 
seal into housing.  You will need hole for it to go around pinion shaft.

Good luck,
Gary

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1963 Chrysler 300 Rear End Leak

Hello All,

I have noticed grease stains (quite a bit - 9 inch stain on cardboard) 
coming from what looks like the rear end seal. See attached pictures.
This is not a Sure-Grip.

1) I have a shop manual, but how hard is it to replace this seal in my 
garage?  Scale 1-10

2) I have basic tools, but nothing special. I am trying to not tear it apart 
and then have to tow the car to a mechanic.

3) What is best guess $$$ to have a local mechanic do this work?  I am just 
trying to get a ballpark idea so I don’t get ripped off.

4). The grease stain on the back side is probably the grease getting drawn 
back by wind due to driving.

5) Standard old school 90W grease or something newer? I see the amount is 4 
pints.

Thank you,
Mark Lindahl
