The Costly Consequences of Improper Dana Pinion Seal Installation

Hammering or using makeshift drivers on pinion seals frequently distorts the lip, cocks the seal, scores the housing bore, or causes immediate/early leaksβ€”leading to oil loss, brake contamination, bearing failure, and major rework.

  • Seal distortion / cocked install – $300–$800 seal + labor repeat
  • Housing bore scoring – $800–$3,000 machining or housing replacement
  • Early leak recurrence – $1,200–$4,000 cleanup, bearings & brakes
  • Oil contamination / differential damage – $2,000–$7,000 gears & rebuild
  • Truck downtime – 2–8 days ($800–$2,500/day fleet loss)
  • Rework labor β€” Extra 8–30 hours at $150–$350/hr
