hmm let me reveiw this so i can learn a new thing the seals are installed in the
end of the axle tubes on the inside of the diff case behind the bearing how does
your tool get the seal in behind the carrier with it in place inside the diff.

Re: Front axle seal on 2000 Grand Cherokee - $800?!
Ok, it seemed like the right way to do it at the time...
This works on both the locking hub and the vacuum lock and the solid
axle Dana 30.
First you remove the diff cover.
Second you remove the axle (the hard part)
Third you remove the bearing caps.
Forth you pull the guts out. Oops, they don't fit because you have to
expand the case so you just let them lay there in the bottom of the
case.
Fifth you pop the old seals out with a bar inserted from the outside
end.
(At about this point I clean everything and even use my threaded rod to
push a rag through the tube to clean it like cleaning a gun barrel.)
Sixth you insert a threaded rod from the outside into the axle tube with
a bar that covers/crosses the opening and a nut.
Seventh you slide the greased seal onto the threaded rod inside the
housing.
Eighth you put a washer the size of the seal onto the rod, then add a
nut.
And last you tighten the nut on the outside end of the threaded rod
sucking the seal into it's seat.
Then reassemble. If using RTV as a gasket the surfaces must be
perfectly clean. I think it is best to let the RTV cure for the 24
hours it calls for before adding fluid.
I have personally done a bunch of these with perfect success. So has
Seppster from this group.
Gee did we just invent a way to burn the $tealer techs out of $800.00?
I SURE hope so! LOL!!!!
