OK, tech guys, how many Ford Service Labor hours is reasonable to R and R the pumpkin? Two axle seals and diff cover seal, NOT a complete rebuild.
Thanks, in advance

Labor Hours: Rear Diff

2-3hrs
I'd say in the 3 hour range, give or take.

Why not just call and ask a Ford dealers Service Department? They can look it up and tell you, instead of getting guesses on here.
You can also get this information at ---> ALLDATA - OEM Automotive Repair Information and Technical Service Bulletins
Good luck with it.
why would you replace the side seals and reseal the rear cover, but not fix the one thats probably doing all the leaking, which is the pinion seal?
I'm actually verifying a certified Ford Dealership quote, and thanks for the info.
I'm a mercedes tech, and I just did my diff on my cobra... And I'd say 2-3 hours is an absolute steal whoever is getting those numbers. When we reseal a benz diff which is alot easier than a cobra we charge between 6-9 hours.
After you do it a dozen times it gets pretty easy! :-D
If you are a tech and it takes you more then 2-3 hours to reseal a cobra diff then my friend you are either a perfectionest or doing something wrong!!
I can remove the entire IRS, remove the center section and rebuild the trac-loc and remove/replace all bearings and seals in the center section, and have the entire thing back in the car and on the road in 6-9 hrs.
I agree with the above... It does get a little easier after you have done it a few times.
BTW I am not starting and internet war, just stating my experiences with the IRS.
It's like having sex for the first time... you get better with experience!!!
