2002 F-150 Rear Axle Diagram/breakdown?

[klatt_89]

Does anyone have a diagram of how the rear axles come apart on these trucks? It would be very helpful, Thanks!

Oh gawd.... there's a story here.

Well, not a too interesting story as of yet,
but while at my brothers this weekend building a fire pit:

We used my truck to move all the blocks n bricks. While working on the level first layer, i noticed this on my truck:

So I asked what he thought it was and he's leaning towards a seal, and he is curious of the breakdown of the axle to see how much of a bother it'll be.
How hard of a fix is the seal, and what all should be done to the axle if one seal is being replaced?

Thats a fancy pit...
As for the axle, you know what it is off hand?

Thanks, whatcha don't see is the two rail road tie benches on each side of it, it was all free, cause it was stuff that was already at the house they bought.

As for the axle, tag reads:
V 919 A
3L55 9 75 1L01

Which is the 3.55 limited slip 9.75 inch axle. Since it's a 5.4 and H9 axle, it makes sense that it's that size and a limited slip. Hope this may help.

Dustin I missed this. This is VERY common for our trucks. the 9.75 outer seal is ok from the factory, but not that great. as long as it is still leaking you have fluid LOL. Mine has been leaking for a while but when I get the SAS swap and re gear the rearend i will address.

As for the teardown, I would go to your local Ford dealer. Usually they will give you an exploded view of it.

Alright, i figured it was common, and it's alright Doc, we all get busy! LMAO, well when it runs out, i guess i won't have a leak.....well that won't be the problem at least! I guess I'll just check fluid and go from there on it, think the rear end needs some upgrade over the LS from the factory, lol.

i put a wheel bearin in mine and it was a peice of cake......go to autozone and get there bearin puller or u will never get it out.....u pull yer axle and put the puller in there and its like a slide hammer and it pulls it right out.......the old stock one is 2 peices , and the new one is one peice.......

it only takes bout 30 min to do
