Matter of fact working with that material is just like working with cardboard.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

RockAuto shows the 6.2 Denali AWD and 5.3 selectable 4WD differential carrier as the same part number - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=14814485&cc=3305736&pt=15061&jsn=424
I assume the process for removal is the same for both.

Oh interesting they are the same, I thought they would be different.
I had enough of the old one left to lay it down and trace around it. what I used was rubber, so it didn't need to be to perfect. little thinner would been nice, I have a extra large cooler between the ac condenser and the radiator thou. the edges of the factory one stick in there about a half inch. bit of a squeeze.
what tools did you use on the slide hammer?
I've not done the front, but I did the rear with these.. would they possibly save you dropping the axle?

not thst meth isn't better in every way but didn't they sell a air to water cooler for the votech fox body kit years ago. I think they called it an after cooler?
seem to remember it worked pretty well and saved all that front mount routing

Unsure of the specific tool, did this a couple years back at my parents place so whatever my dad had on hand. We were seeking to do it at the same time as replacing the wheel hub assembly on that passenger side (completed that part) but could not get the axle removed from the diff carrier. Our thought was perhaps there is a C-clip retainer holding it in as located inside the diff carrier. Maybe more 'brute force' would release it, but you'd risk damaging said clip that the factory put there for some reason (my view at least; could also be totally wrong about the clip and we're just weak LOL).
It's a super tiny weeping leak from the seal that's been there ever since I'm just trying to keep the truck's side of the garage floor clean
For the passenger side axle seal the axle housing needs to be separated from the diff itself. Then the extension can be disassembled to replace the seal. This guy shows how it's done on a 4x4; your extension won't have the actuator but will probably be similar. I've seen other YouTubes of the process but didn't dig very deep this time.
And a similar one (first of two):

Not today, today, but late yesterday I replaced all of the heater hoses, both upper and lower radiator hoses and the thermostat.
I removed each O ring from the T connectors and sprayed them with silicone so they would slide on easier.
Also, both T's had a slight mold ridge that ran the length of the nipple so I used my jeweler's files and removed the ridges.
As you can tell by the discoloration of the white T connector, it was done and was most likely ready to fail.
I got way more beat up that I had planned but it is done.
Oh yea, I also did a quick clean up on the throttle body since I was staring at it the whole time.

Nice, I will take a watch. Thank you!
Good read here
Inner axle shaft fixin
So I had the leak on the my drivers front inner axle shaft to be fixed. When the CV shaft was bolted up to it the shaft did have a bit of radial play so I was thinking the bearing may have needed replacing too. I have the shaft out but can't see how to get the bearing out. Where would the play...

I bought and installed new ones April of last year. Here's a pic if it helps. I should've layed a ruler next to it and taken a couple pics showing the different dimensions.
What did those run you?
There's a guy up in my brother's neighborhood running around in this thing, he says the badges on all 3 sides look like this.

Yes they did/do. Very pricey kit though. My Snow meth kit was only like $200 back around 2007

They were about $30 each at GMPartsGiant.com

I had toyed with the thought of attempting to rebuild the front differential that comes out of my Yukon. I have a junkyard replacement sitting in a box in the basement....just zero motivation to pull the bad one.
