Simple differential side seal replacement
Years ago, I read a post by cajundude on a simple method to replace the differential side shaft seals but the reference is now dead. I found it elsewhere on the web:

I'd been seeing the trunk lid liners on some of the members Vettes but being a good Yorkshireman, the $150 price tag seemed a bit steep.
Had a bit of a DIY morning and made one up myself A sheet of pegboard - Home Depot $3 A roll of black carpet from Walmart - $8 Spray Glue - Lowes $4 Velcro - Lowes $8 I made a template from some wrapping paper and transferred it to cardboard. Then used the template to cut the pegboard. Shaped the edges to make it fit the space using a rotary cutting disc. Glued the carpet to the pegboard leaving a 2" strip. Folded that over the edges and stapled around the edge after priming with the spray on glue. Fixing proved tricky. I tried velcro on the V Channels on the inside of the trunk lid but the weight pulled it away continually. I decided to use push fit studs which hold the liner in place a little better. Four studs were a few extra $ from Autozone. Attachment 48168386 Mark positions for the studs carefully. Drill holes through the liner into the V Frame. The stud pushes through and fits tightly into the frame behind. There are 2 studs at the top and 2 at the bottom. Most Important: Be very careful not to press too hard and drill through the trunk lid Voila, the end product: Attachment 48168387 The logo was embroidered by my wife. You could buy the commercial GM logo but that would add to the cost. An enhancement may be to fit some foam blocks at the lower outer corners. This would prevent some minor flexing |

Refurbishing a Corvette C5 Hood Liner
The liner is made of a very delicate material so be careful in how you handle it once it’s removed. The surface is a fabric type finish and hard brushing will cause it to become rough and fibrous. It will also crack easily if you let it flex so if you take it outside beware of strong wind. As you take the final fasteners out, support the liner so you don’t crack the liner around the eyelets. The actual work takes only minutes. The drying time is the only slow process. As you can see, the liner will have attracted quite a bit of dirt and grime. Attachment 48166253 OK here we go. Lift the hood. Remove the fasteners gently, top, then bottom and middle ones last. This will support the liner better as you take them out. Us a tool with a forked end. I’ve heard of a barbeque fork being used. I used a nail puller work in behind the fastener. Attachment 48166254 Take the liner outside and brush the surface gently with a soft brush to remove any dirt. Take care not to damage the surface of the liner. Attachment 48166255 Spray the liner with black paint. The difference between the old and the new surface is immediately apparent. Attachment 48166256 Use as many coats as you see fit. The liner is porous so it will take at least 3 coats to get good coverage. Leave it for 30 mins between coats to allow the paint to dry. Attachment 48166257 If you plan to paint the Corvette emblem, you may wish to apply extra paint around the embossed area on the liner. This will stop the liner absorbing the coloured paint. Once the paint is dry (and you may wish to leave it overnight), you can either paint the emblem or apply a decal. I chose the decal. Alternatively if you prefer, you can refit the liner and apply the decal when it’s back in place. Refit the liner in the hood fitting the middle fasteners first to hold it in place, then refit the remaining fasteners. A gentle push fit is all it takes to reinsert the fastener. The finished Hood Liner Attachment 48166258 |

This thread was very helpful. Instructions were clear and worked as stated! Took me about 10 mins.

I also completed #2 after ordering gear from Rodney. Longest part of process letting glue dry overnight. I also replaced the stops.
