Need some seal replacement advice.
 

Greetings.

Have an 86 XJ I am bringing back to life to serve as a daily driver. I
believe the pinion seal is in need of replacing (rear). Is this a
difficult repair for a novice or should I have a mechanic perform this
repair? Just wondering. Also I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee Limited with
a class three, 2" reciever, want to know if a d-ring shackle assy will
work for recovery,with the appropriate recovery strap for pulling
wayward cars from the ditch.

Thanks,
Greg

Re: Need some seal replacement advice.
 

I think if I had a choice between a Class III with a properly sized shackle
and the 'factory" rear tow hook on a Grand Cherokee I would rather trust the
tow hitch.

If nothing else it is bolted to both frame rails.
