Transfer Case rear seal leaking

[KCFLHTK]

Dealer called, said they couldn't find the leak. I told them to look harder because it's on the cross member and my garage floor. I really think it's the grease they used on the slip yoke, because it's really thick and gooey. Not something I would expect to find in a transfer case.

Dealer replaced rear transfer case seal, seems to be fixed. I'm sure they damaged it when they greased the slip yoke.

Sorry! will not agree with you here!
Beleive me!
I have done lots of this drive shaft removal and reinstalling and never had this problem.How can you cut a seal? or how much build up can be at the tip of the yoke on a 07 yukon?

yea thats right, it slides past through that seal. and the ends are rather shaft and often burred from age.

If the installer didnt hold the DS correctly while guiding the Pre-lubed yoke back in at the correct angle. Its extremly easy to pinch and scratch the seal.

I know cause I have done it numerous times.
