Front Differential Gasket Question

Are there any write ups on how to replace the front differential gasket? Not the seals that are on the sides that go to each wheel and not the on going to the front drive shaft. Mine is leaking between the differential and the cover (if that makes any sense) I did search guys only found things about replacing the other seals.


Thank you for any help

If you're talking about the seal behind the diff cover, all you should have to do is drain the old fluid, pull the cover off, scrape the old gasket off and put a bead of permatex around the cover then put it back on.
