rear differential leak

Groundpilot · 10-13-2014, 10:24 PM

My rear differential is covered with oil but there is no oil on the garage floor. After a quick search, i found out that the most common sourse of diff. leak is a bad pinion seal of the input driveshaft and it needs to be replaced.
Question: is it something that can be done on the jack stands in the garage? How difficult is it? There is no DIY for our cars to adress this issue.
Can anyone give me some feedback please?
