How-To Replace the Rear Hub Oil Seal on Dodge Ram

How-To Replace the Rear Hub Oil Seal on Dodge Ram

Sorry for the poor audio in the last 2 minutes of the video.

After noticing a puddle of oil at the rear wheel on the cement where my truck was parked, it was evident that there was a leak. The leak was coming from the rear hub oil seal so I tore into it to replace the seal. With a little bit of time and some basic tools and knowledge, it’s fairly easy to replace the seal. Watch the video for a complete run through on how to replace the seal.

What you’ll need:

Basic tools
New Seal
RTV Gasket Maker (Orange)
Brake Clean or other supplies for cleaning surfaces
Gear Oil (only a little bit)

After installing the new seal, I like to park on a slight hill for a few minutes to let oil run back into the hub. After driving for some time, make sure that the new seal is not leaking and periodically check for oil around the hub area.

Would this process be the Same for a 2012 ram 2500?

When pulling the seal out you should get the right tool such as a seal puller or screw some small sheet metal self tapping screws in and pulling with some pliers instead of potential hurting the mating surface with a punch and hammer.
