How to remove the differential seal from the differential on Chevrolet Traverse?

To remove the pinion seal from the differential, start by raising the vehicle and securing it on jackstands. Then, remove the torque tube. Next, thread self-tapping screws into the seal and use pliers or a slide hammer to remove it. For installation, lubricate the lip of the new seal with multi-purpose grease. Use a seal installer or a large deep socket as a drift to drive the new seal into the bore, ensuring it is seated properly. Finally, for the installation process, reverse the steps taken during removal. Don't forget to check the differential lubricant level and add more if needed to reach the appropriate level.

Chevrolet Traverse Differential Seal

Chevrolet Traverse Differential Seal locks fluid inside the housing while stopping dirt from shortening component life. This protects the axle gears. Shielded by a proprietary blend of synthetic rubber, the Differential Seal flexes with temperature changes, maintaining snug contact with the rotating shaft, allowing oil to remain pressurized and preventing leakage that would deplete the differential of fluid. Over the years, Chevrolet has coupled this differential with both open and limited slip differentials. The open differential is configured to share torque evenly, while the limited slip differential uses clutch packs to push extra torque to the wheel or tire that still has grip. However, in every arrangement, the Differential Seal supplies the same essential protection. If the heat, low fluid, or contaminants cause the Differential Seal lip to harden, the seal fails. Some drivers notice clanking noises or sloppy cornering before noticing the drip. The Differential Seal should be checked every few thousand miles and replaced if worn to keep the Chevrolet drivetrain quiet and help the Traverse corner smoothly. This will enhance the lifespan of the gears in your Traverse even if you just drive it to work or on family trips.

Each OEM Chevrolet Traverse Differential Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
