I'm going to have to replace the front axle seals in my '88 XJ and your video gave me exactly what I needed - very clear, well-organized and detailed. Thanks!!!

I'm so impressed with your knowledge of replacing these bearings. Your manner of explaining the step-by-step process is invaluable to beginners. I just came back from the Mojave desert and one side is leaking, a lot. So now with your instructional video I will proceed with Pure confidence and changing all my seal As I read some of your comments, I am truly impressed that the younger generation is intrested in jeeping.I I would hope and pray that you would have other videos To help all of us. Thank you sincerely from Ronnie

Wow, great video. It's great to see the younger generations working on their Jeeps!

Man, that's some clean fluid. I thought crystal clear spring water was pouring out.

Well done sir. Very glad I took time to view this.

Thank you for making this video. I've been looking alot and it seems you are the only one not to skip steps.

Nice job. First time I have seen the grease outer seals done.

Well done and very informative step by step explanation. Thank you for your post.

Nice job. I feel like I can now do this to my Jeep! Thanks for the walk through!

Very nice video, you explained, and did everything very well. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you for such an informative video! Really appreciate you showing each step and what to look out for.

Very informative video and helpful tips to surpass situations without mandatory tools. Thanks! 🙂

You are very well spoken. Great video

Excellent video! Great job on this. Thanks a lot.

Great video very thorough. I gotta do mine this weekend. Subscribed

Excellent step by step video. It's good to see the whole process before I do Mine. Thanks

Great video, I have a 2013 wrangler. But this was the best video I have seen to change the seals.

Front passenger is leaking on my 09 JK. You made it look nice and easy, great video

Awesome clear detailed video. Good work and thanks 👍

Best video I've seen on this subject so far. I have seen a lot of folks running without an outer seal, or even the plastic dust shield. Always looked like a bad idea to me to have the end of the axle open like that.

Great video, good detailed work. Makes you really wonder who is taking the time to do it right in a shop.

Outjeeping, you've made one of the greatest, if not the greatest "how to" videos! Don't change a thing about them. Thanks!

Very informative and helpful. Thanks.

Excellent video. I am about to do this job of my 03 3500 dodge and this made it look simple.

Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with your video...the fact that someone 1/2 my age did this with such confidence and knowledge makes me a lot more comfortable with doing it myself!!! Thanks for the video!

Great video. Thanks for posting this video.

Great video! I'll be tackling this soon🤘

I’ve fixed so much stuff on my xj thanks to this guy.

Great tutorial! Thanks bro!😎👍

Very nicely done great video lot of attention to detail

Thank you for posting!

Yeah, I just did front axle u joints for the 2nd time (130K miles) and the passenger side seal apparently went kapoot on the install. This vid helps a lot. Makes me feel comfortable about doing the seal change. Stay cool.

Great video, seeing those outer seals go in is pretty cool, I've got the parts coming for a 2005 TJ that's my son's we are doing when it gets here. My brother was a long time mechanic in Houston, only piece he added, when it's all apart, he runs a pole through and has shop towels that he feeds to get that axle shaft cleaned out and gets the dirt out of there. The outer seals look like they'll end that issue, ha.

Nice job! Very useful video!

It’s very refreshing to see a younger man , “kid “ doing this . Awesome!

Very well done. Very simple step by step instructions. Congrats for a job well done.

I would give you a A+ . Refreshing to see a man who is complete as well as lending in their instructions... You should be a school teacher.. They need people like you...Stellar Sir.

Thanks 4 posting!

Great Video! Thanks I will be doing this very soon! you make it look easy. Subscribed!

Very informative video. It looks like everything you did would also work on my JK. I just installed new ball joints on my JK when I noticed my inner seals were bad. I’m shocked that Jeep doesn’t sell their product with outer seals.

Thank you very much sir. Excellent video and helped me .

Keep up the good work

Great video dude

Just found this video, good explanation and steps through process. I've gotta do front axle seals on my 02 wrangler for inspection this month. Time wise, looks like it took better part of the afternoon/evening. This should definitely be easier than chasing down and fixing the electrical issues in my wife's grand cherokee! Mechanical good, electrical sucks🙃

Thanks for this video....just did mine. BTW, in a Dana 60 you can actually hammer the new seals inside the pumpkin with the driver, no handle.

Freggin awesome video. Thank you

Thanks so much! A very thorough & professional vid. And you speak clearly, a bonus for the hearing challenged.

Bro cool. I had the same idea. I found that the 36mm socket fit just right and I also bought washers to weld together and put on the end of a long piece of 2x2 incase the socket method wouldn't work. I have a dana 44 in the front so the 1 seal was going to be a challenge. Cool to see someone was thinking like me for once.

Great video thank you

Great job

Really good video, you do a good job of detailing the whole project out. My front seals went and have been looking at lots of video’s, yours is the best I’ve seen!!! Thanks for making this, feel like I’m ready to go now!!!

Only vid I've found on here that shows the outer seals being done. Thanks man good vid. I find that it's 8out od 10 times to only b the outside seal. Changed mine twice in the past 2 years on my mail delivery jeep.

great job there young timer !!!

Nice job on the video.

Nice job

Tanks mate 😎 I have a 2020 ford ranger wildtrak

Nice job!!Alot of work for $4.. Hahaha!!! I'm doing mine in a few weeks..My 1999 Xj has almost 330,000 miles and is just like new.. Little repairs like this are very labor intensive.

Good work

Loving the Armstrong USA ratchet you have there

Seems like an opportune time to do U-Joints while you're at it....but a great video! Thank you sir!

Nice video.

nice job

Great video. I finished replacing mine on my 1975 F250 “Highboy” 4x4 with the Dana 44 front on Friday. Thanks to your thorough video, I was able to do it. Haha I had to buy and use a 38mm socket for the “custom tool.” I had this wooden flag pole that I gorilla taped an extension onto the end. This was not fun haha but now I’m trail ready good to go. The Chilton manual left me in the dark on these seals. Thank you again.

Nice job dude. Bout to knock thos out on my 2010 Dodge 2500

I used 1/2” bolt rod, 2 washers and bolts to draw in the inner seals. Center it up and draw it in until tight. But I have the Dana 30 with the disconnected axle on the passenger side.

Pretty smart

Very well done video. Just a suggestion though, next time you have your diff cover off, use a Lube locker gasket instead of RTV, you'll thank yourself the next time.

I love your work Bubba can you please do a video on how to put lockers in front and rear axles? That would be awesome

Two things nice video and I think I'll have to do mine outside because I won't have room in my garage to put a broomstick through the axle. Haha.

Just curious if I should check the backlash before I take the carrier out? A few videos show it being checked and some don’t show it being checked. Just curious of what I should do before taking it out. Thanks and good video

I watched another video and yours was way better, great job young man! Can I ask you how much fluid the jeep diff requires?

Nice

nice

Awesome clear detailed video, part number for the inner seals?

What is the orange stuff by the seal? I also get the diff must go back in the way it came as in when u said it goes in the same side but does the pinion have to meet the diff exactly the way it came out?? Or can u just put it back in and make sure its turning and its good??

What is that red Silicon around the seals? My has a piece broken and it looks like it doesn't come out.

Great job! Good narration. I wish it was as easy as you made it look.

Not a bad time to do a front brake job as well.

about to do it this weekend. maybe i can use a piece of allthread to drive it instead of hammering

Good video, thanks. So you don't have to go through the whole process of diff setup as long as the shims go back in the right place?

What kind of seals do I need to buy or get for the inner seals ?? I couldn’t figured it out ....

How long are those extensions when installing new seals?

Great video. How do you know how far to seat the inner seal. Is there a certain depth or is there a inner lip and you stop hammering when you’re bottomed out.

I got an 86 jeep Cherokee, would it be the same procedure? Thanks for the video !

replaced these seals last weekend and driver side still leaking. Gotta check for a clogged vent line or gouged seal journals

What is the outer seal and where can I get them ,put new u joint in today on front axle and there was not one there.dirt was all in the tube of the axle, what do you recommend doing, don't have alot of money. Can I take it apart and wash the dirt out with water hose and new seals and oil

What is the difference between doing this on this axle vs a Dana 44? I have a Rubicon with lockers and Dana 44. Are there any additional steps or precautions that must be taken?

Top Tip. Get a lube locker. All that RTV had me squeamish. Other than that excellent work. Good & helpful video.

Hey @OutJeeping, really good video man, but I have a question, so lets say in the future one of the inner seals is leaking again, how will you know that with aftermarket outer seals installed, I know that its meant to keep debris out of the axle tubes, but since there sealed wont there be an accumulation of differential fluid in the axle tubes, or would it not matter? Thanks for your time man.

As far as rtv goes with that outer seal, it's just rtv silicone right? Any color works too? Also, about the shims, as long as they go in the same side it will work right? There's no orientation? I'm confident to do the work but don't want to grenade my diff if I put together wrong

How do you know when the new seals are in place, where they supposed to go

Wait...are there not any bearings behind the hub area? Just an outer seal and then the inner seal further in? The only bearing on these is at the hub unit itself? Did I catch that accurately?

I have to ask, how do you know when the inner seals are shot once you install those outer seals? I am about to do my inner seals again and want to install the outer, but have been cautioned about the lack of "feedback" from the Jeep when those inner seals are gone next time.

Hey, thanks for the video! Couple of questions. 1. How long did it take? 2. I bought mine and the previous fella threw in grand Cherokee CV joints from a ZJ. Have you ever tried that application?

I can’t for the life of me hammer in the new seals. I have extensions to go thru the axle with a 35mm socket that fits the seal perfectly. Any tips to get the seals in?

What brand of outer tube seals did you use and is there clearance issues with the grease zerk???

Would this procedure be the same for Dana 44? Also can you tell me where to find the torque value on these I'm not sure where to look thanks? Good Video by the way

Great video! Question. Do the outer seals come out very easy? Also, what year is your XJ?

What parts did you use, I got new inner and outer axle seals to install but they look nothing like yours, they are just little rubber o rings...

how do i know if i have enough torque on the carrier bolts? i got a dana 30 aswell. i found it says i need 60 ft-lbs. on them but like how do i know if i got that
