Re: YJ Axle Seal
To prelub it so it doesn't wear before oil splashes up there?

No oil splashes in there, the diff oil is sealed in the pumpkin by the
carrier seals. The lube stays in the shift housing area. between the outer
seal and the inner bearing/seal assy

Re: YJ Axle Seal
Then how can the outer seal leak?
I mean when they leak, they freaking pour it out if you are tipped
sideways.
This cannot be if there is an inner seal. (Don't even think about
telling me the inner seal must be blown on 'all' of the ones I have seen
or heard of needing an axle seal changed, I won't believe that for a
second)
Where is the dip stick or check hole for the shift motor oil?
The book cannot say 'toss a tablespoon or so' in there when opening it
up only.
The maintenance schedule does 'not' mention anywhere that you have to
check the oil level in the shift motor nor are any provisions made to do
so.
'Every' other fluid level in the Jeep has a way to check it.
Tell ya what, when I get a chance to help the next person who needs an
outer seal changed, I will get them to fill up the shift motor to see if
oil actually stays in it or the OP could do that just to make sure.

I mean when they leak, they freaking pour it out if you are tipped
sideways.
This cannot be if there is an inner seal. (Don't even think about
telling me the inner seal must be blown on 'all' of the ones I have seen
or heard of needing an axle seal changed, I won't believe that for a
second)
Where is the dip stick or check hole for the shift motor oil?
The book cannot say 'toss a tablespoon or so' in there when opening it
up only.
The maintenance schedule does 'not' mention anywhere that you have to
check the oil level in the shift motor nor are any provisions made to do
so.
'Every' other fluid level in the Jeep has a way to check it.
Tell ya what, when I get a chance to help the next person who needs an
outer seal changed, I will get them to fill up the shift motor to see if
oil actually stays in it or the OP could do that just to make sure.

Then how can the outer seal leak?

Re: YJ Axle Seal
As you would do with any seal, from wheel bearing to rear main.
