On hind sight you would think that Jeeps would have had a seal at the
other end of the axle tube closer to the hub.

Re: Axle Seal replacment 93 YJ
Unfortunately for Bill, YJs have held up extremely well for 17 years now,
and the TJ looks to be even more long-lived. OIh, well, we can still recall
those wonderful days of yesteryear, when we could sit on the front porch on
a warm summer evening and listen to our CJs rust, and watch all the fluids
drip out!

Re: Axle Seal replacment 93 YJ
Well I got the seal in with slight modifications to my puller damn
that is one messed up configuration....I bet the guy who designed it
never had to ever fix a seal before.
Thanks folks as always you were all a great help.

that is one messed up configuration....I bet the guy who designed it
never had to ever fix a seal before.
Thanks folks as always you were all a great help.

Re: Axle Seal replacment 93 YJ
Show me a Web Site where they're repairing a Real Jeep's Dana 25
front wheel bearing, axle U-J, ring and pinion, Borg Warner T-90 T-14
T-15 T-150 T-176 transmission, Dana 18 20 300 transfer, Dana 41 44 rear
axle, or ring and pinion. The rust problem didn't come along until AMC's
compromised Oh Too Thin box frame by their unitized body design.
