Howdy ya'll... I have the leakage on my 31 and I purchased the boot from Bob's. I currently have the rope seal but it leaking too much. I put the car on a friends lift and it looks quite difficult to do since I cannot dive in like the other guys.... I must walk into the waters. I am a Newby at Buicks and I am attempting to fix as many items I can. I need to do the exhaust, torque ball, steering box, need two pressure rings for my spares, and a few minor issues too. I read that the rear end must be pulled back in order to replace the boot or ad a seal or silicone it. If the rear end must be pulled back... to me... that is a task. I have no helper...just me, myself and I.
Any photos, videos, or information that will make it easier for me....I would be much obliged. Great information above. By the way; I do not have a lift but something tells me that I will be needing one.
