Re: Bearing issues
When you pull the slip yoke, fluid can come out around the splined
output shaft. If you park it facing slightly down hill, you won't lose more than a few drops when the slip yoke comes out. Then clamp on a cap and you're good to go.

Re: Bearing issues
He's referring to your criticism of his supposed "terrible netiquette"
in top-posting. To each his own man. And while you may be annoyed at his asking about your decision to pull the rear driveshaft, I have to agree with him asking, especially after your response: "Yes. 1998 Jeep Wrangler (did you look at sig?) NV231 TCase (has splined output shaft.)" I'm not sure how that answers the question. Does it have a fixed output yoke (of course it's splined...it's splined whether you have a slip yoke or a fixed yoke) or a slip yoke? i.e. have you installed an SYE on the case? If not, you shouldn't drive around with the tailshaft removed, it WILL leak. And it's interesting that you get annoyed about us asking the question if you don't even know under what circumstance you would lose fluid by pulling the tailshaft ("Mike, how exactly would I lose the fluid? ...."). Relax, man. We're all just trying to help, here. Don't be so quick to jump down people's throats! ....and on a side note, I prefer top-posting and when others top-post; it makes it much more efficient to read messages using Google when I want to look up something old, and also because I currently use google for all my NG reading since my cable ISP has crappy direct newsgroup service. /Bob "Joseph P" <jpribe@nc.rr.com> wrote in message news:<D_Wsc.60531$V_.2806890@twister.southeast.rr. com>... > I was trying to save myself from > naOsc.33742$cA1.22976@fe13.usenetserver.com, > but <noEmail@please.com> wouldn't let me go... > > | Just drive the jeep, the noise from the bad bearings is only > | half as annoying as someone criticizing you as you try to help > | them. > | > | > | "Joseph P" <jpribe@nc.rr.com> wrote in message > | news:UTMsc.60067$V_.2727758@twister.southeast.rr.c om... > || I was trying to save myself from > || 4vLsc.60791$U4.7529@fe29.usenetserver.com, > || but <noEmail@please.com> wouldn't let me go... > || > ||| > ||| > ||| "Joseph P" <jpribe@nc.rr.com> wrote in message > ||| news:y5Lsc.60041$V_.2721315@twister.southeast.rr.c om... > |||| Can't get into the shop soon enough, and my TJ is my only > |||| vehicle...needs opinions (fact would be better) as to how > |||| long I can drive on the front axle.
