on my 4x4 it is on top of the rear diff into the housing..
The drive axels can be removed & replaced individually. If you've actually broken the front differential housing you will need to get the gear ratio and find out what kind of diff you have in the truck and make a trip to the wrecking yard and get a used one and replace the diff. as a complete unit.
No it will not, It is all different. Actually yes it will i have to correct you om that i have a 96 blazer same front diff as an s10 and 96 to 03 are the same i just put a 2000 front diff in mine
The right seal can be replaced by only removing the right shaft. To replace the left seal, the entire axle needs disassembled.
it will be the same as the rear diff
A lot of work transmission and transfer case need to be hung make sure you get the crossmember. Front axle assembly needs to be hung make sure you get all the brackets, steering gear and suspension. Torsion bars will have to be removed and reinstalled there is a special tool for this. Should be able to use the same springs in the front. One important note: gear ratios front and rear differentials need to be the same or at least only one number off. Example rear diff 4.10 front diff 4.9 The easiest way is to remove your cab and remount on the 4x4 frame.
No.
the front diff is part of the gearbox and the diff/gearbox oil is the same-there is a dipstick on the offside of the box near the bellhousing.
sounds like you have over filled the diff with lubricant drain lubricant and replace with proper rated oil and proper amount
