Cover Seal: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) may leak different color fluids, red Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and tan/brown/black gear lube for PTU fluid. The PTU seals prevent these types of fluids from leaking. It is important to note which color fluid is leaking to determine the most appropriate service procedure. This procedure will correct a tan/brown/black (gear lube) leak from the RH side of the PTU. For additional information, refer to ANALYSIS OF LEAKAGE .
NOTE: This procedure is to be performed through the RH wheel opening. It is not necessary to remove the exhaust components to complete this repair.
  1. Remove the intermediate shaft seal deflector. For additional information, refer to INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SEAL DEFLECTOR .
    2. NOTE: There is a bearing inside the PTU directly behind the cover seal. The bearing is not serviced.
