 Re: gator tail question
I have never changed one but I don't think it will be too hard to do. I have seen on hear others had it leaking before and put thick gear oil in it to get by until it you get it fixed. I bet gatortail won't take as long to fix it as you think. I would give them a call and find out, I bet they can fix it same day in less than an hour.

 Re: gator tail question
This may be what is leaking on mine. I thought it was coming from the caliper but this would make sense. Going to have to pull the cover and take a closer look. If you do make the repair yourself taking pictures and posting the process for us non mechanic guys would be a big help.

 Re: gator tail question
Pull the planetary apart, take out the retainer ring, pull the old seal out and drive the new one in. Easy work.

 Re: gator tail question
I would have a new seal on hand before you pull the old one apart. I would bet it will be hard to find local without having it special ordered. Probably be faster to get through Gatortail.
