I repacked my right axel when a tranny leak needed a new seal two years ago. Did my left this weekend. Looks to me that the clutch slave cylinder would be an easy reach with the right axel out. May want to consider repacking right axel if you are doing the clutch slave. Some insight on repacking either side is leave the axel clips in place and boots in place when possible. Clean the axels ends, removing the six balls and outer cage from each end of each axel. When repacking, looking at the outside of the axel, align two closest spaces of the inner cage to two far away spaces of the outer cage inserting the balls into the greased caged areas. After getting the last of the six balls in on a side, secure the boot to the end of the axel with a bolt and nut until you have finished the other side. Insert all axel bolts into the boot axel assembly before returning the axel to the back of the van. Good for 50k or when boot or seal failure requires servicing and maybe when you need to do the clutch slave. regards gary
