Find out where the oil is coming out, this might be a clue as to what failed in your differential. What year is your bronco?

it is mainly coming out around the yoke.i took the drive shaft off and you can shake the yoke around a pretty good bit.i dont know a whole lot about rear end and any help would be nice.it is a 71 model

I would pull the yoke off and check to make sure nothing is broken or excessively worn ie pinion splines pull the seal and check the outer bearing and crush sleave if they look good replace seal if you can get a new crush sleave get one iand torque pinion nut to 200 ft lbs if you have to reuse the old crush sleave it may take a bit more torque to keep it tight. you may want to put some lock tite on the nut to help keep it on I had a similar problem once

[/quote]the bearings seen to br gone but the one inside at the end of the pinion fits in is gone as well.how do you replace it.do you have to remove the hole third member.
