Re: Front diff - prop side oil leak? --97 wrangler
Hi Mick,
Not difficult, it's nice to have the right tools like pictured:
http://www.----------.com/pinionSeal.pdf A steering wheel puller or less
will pull the yoke, don't use a hammer, a screwdriver will pop the seal,
find a pipe large enough to drive the seal straight on and flush with
the housing, and torque to a hundred sixty pounds should put the right
tension on your crush spacer for proper bearing clearance.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
