Help keep gear lubricant inside the axle with the SKF differential pinion seal 17407, built to close off the opening where the pinion shaft exits the differential housing. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2004-2012 GMC Canyon, 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer. SKF 17407 is cataloged for both front and rear positions, depending on the application.
- Steel garter spring: The garter spring is made from cold drawn steel wire for fluid retention.
- Rigid metal case: The body is formed from deep drawn sheet steel, creating a rigid, stress-resistant metal case.
- Dirt and water protection: Designed to help protect against dirt and water.
- Correct fit: Produced with a tested design and quality materials for correct fit.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques since. Its seals are built to specific designs with premium materials chosen for the application and its operating environment, with the goal of keeping lubricants in and contaminants out.
The seal body stays stationary in the housing while its lip rides on the rotating pinion surface. Signs a pinion seal may need replacing include gear oil seeping around the pinion yoke, residue or drips on the input side of the differential, and a falling fluid level. Follow the vehicle service information for pinion nut and preload procedures during installation.
