How to replace the Differential Seal on Honda Passport?

Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Remove the driveshaft. Mark the relationship of the flange nut to the pinion shaft and, using an inch-pound torque wrench, measure the torque required to start the pinion flange turning; jot down this figure and save it for reassembly. Holding the flange with a suitable tool, remove the retaining nut. Remove the pinion flange, using a puller if necessary. Remove the old seal with a seal removal tool or a large screwdriver. Install a new seal with a seal installer tool or a big socket. Apply sealant to the splines of the pinion flange, then install it onto the pinion, aligning the marks made earlier. Apply a non-hardening thread locking compound to the threads of the pinion, then install and tighten the pinion flange retaining nut until the previously made matchmarks are in alignment. When the marks are aligned, the turning torque of the pinion flange should be the same as it was before disassembly; tighten the nut to obtain another five inch-pounds of turning torque. Finally, install the driveshaft and lower the vehicle.

Honda Passport Differential Seal

The Honda Passport Differential Seal protects the rear and where installed front or center differentials by retaining gear oil within while preventing grit and water from entering, so that the gears that allow wheels to rotate at different speeds may remain cool and clean. This small but tough ring of synthetic rubber is located around the axle shaft at the differential housing, creating a tight barrier that locks in 75W-90 lubricant under pressure. Over the years, the SUV has mounted both open and limited-slip differentials, and the same Differential Seal design is applied for the open and the limited-slip, but the stresses applied to it are slightly different. In an open layout, steady loading means the Differential Seal fights mostly heat, while the limited-slip unit receives an opportunity to shove extra thrust to one wheel, forcing the Differential Seal to deal with sudden side forces. Early Passport models relied on basic nitrile sealing rings, but the recent models of the Honda Passport have advanced fluoroelastomers that shrug off higher temperatures and swelling, helping Honda drivetrains last longer. No matter what type, a worn Differential Seal soon leaks and howls, so owners of any Honda Passport should act quickly to prevent costly gear damage.
