Trans.Case output seal
2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport,4L 4WD.
Need to replace the transfer case rear output seal.
Before I get under there can somone tell me what they used to seat the
seal? Will a deep socket work or a cut section of PVC pipe?
Thanks

Re: Trans.Case output seal
The PCV pipe will work well. If you have a socket large enough, it also
will do. I just replaced my wheel bearing and used the old bearing race
or cup to pound on to seat the new seal. I would have gone for a chunk
of ABS I have kicking around if the race hadn't just been lying there
saying 'use me' one more time before the scrap heap.
A chunk of 2x4 also works if the seal sits flush with the case.
When it comes to blown seals, I always wonder 'why' the seal went. I
normally think it is a waste of time to just replace an effect, I like
to go after the causes too.... Sometimes it was a bad u-joint that took
out the seal from vibrating, but there is a bearing or bushing in there
too.....

Re: Trans.Case output seal
Also may I add that I had bought a transfer case rear output seal for my 88
XJ from Autozone. It was worse than the original one.
I picked up one from the dealer and it has been working fine.
BTW after a discount the factory seal became less expensive than the one
from AZ! ;-)
I used a large socket and of course oiled the seal's lip before installation
and rechecked the fluid level in the TC.

Re: Trans.Case output seal
On my Mustang, the slip-yoke output seal went because the tail shaft bushing
went out. Check the bushings/bearings when you do the deal. Also, before you
replace the seal, try to move the driveshaft from left to right, up and down
to check for play.
Excessive play indicates wear.
