Replacing axle shaft seals
Hey guys I got a 09 Silverado 4x4. I just recently noticed that I'm leaking gear oil out of both front axle seals. Is this a relatively easy job? Also should I bd replacing the bearings while I'm in there or not bother?

do not replace bearings. I have never seen them go bad.
the job is easy if you know what your doing but will be a disaster if you know not.
the left stub shaft can be hammer out easily using a prybar and hammer; holding pressure on one side of the flange while you hammer the other. the passenger side cannot be hammer out; the axle tube must be unbolted.

Changed the seals, I still seen a couple drops of gear oil after driving it abit, how does one go about checking the vent? And cleaning it etc.

make sure the line isn't bent...some were from factory. the upper section will be plug into the top of the driver wheel well liner. if its ok, disconnect the vent from the t-case and blow it out with a blow gun.
