YJ Axle Seal
My son and I replaced the front passenger side outer axle seal on his
93 YJ the other day and it is still leaking, actually it seems to leak worse. I pulled the vac disconnect cover plate and checked and the seal seems to be still seated properly so I got to thinking it might be one of the following. 1.) the axle had a bit of scoring on the part of the shaft that mates with the seal ... could this cause a bad leak? 2.) the inner seal is totally shot and overwhelming the outer seal? Any thoughts? |

The inner seal doesn't do anything that the outer seal doesn't do. That is, they both prevent the shift assemby's dedicated oil supply from leaking into the axle tube between the inner seal and the right side carrier seal, or out the end of the tube. The oil supply for the shift assembly does not come from the the differential, it has to be added to the shift assembly through the 4x4 indicator light switch hole any time you open the shift housing up. You DID put oil into the shift housing after you replaced the outer seal, didn't you? If not, you've likely toasted the whole magilla. If you did, then the seal isn't properly seated, was damaged when installed, or the outer shaft is damaged at the sealing surface. As tough as those are to get seated, I'd opt for the first two possibilities I listed. |

Re: YJ Axle Seal
If you don't have the factory tool this is a bear to get pressed in without
ruining the seal. I still have a tool I made for these hanging in my shop somewhere. Even with that I generally ruin one or two before I'd get one in there fully seated. The disconnect axle is absolutely the worst piece of Rube Goldberg nonsense ever installed on a Jeep.

I use threaded rod and big thick washers. It 'is' a pain.
