Jeep Wrangler JK Front Axle Seal Replacement
Рет қаралды 8,467
Жыл бұрынIn this video I replace the axle seal in my jeep for the 3rd time in less than 2 years!
It keeps leaking on the driver's side. I have a theory that perhaps the axle shaft on that side is bad. Therefore, I am going to replace that shaft as well, to see if I can get it to stop leaking.
Here are some links to what I used in the video:

Axle Shaft: amzn.to/3NPW3fh

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to show us DIYers how to handle this all to common issue on our JKU's...

Very nice video. You must live in a dry climate. Your Jeep is spotless. Unfortunately for most of us, doing this job turns into a nightmare. Speaking from experience due to living in a rust belt. Bearing retaining bolts will snap in the bearing hub, hun will be seized in the housing, axle tubes will be full of mud and dirt. Again, very nice video, just jealous. Lol

Florida, so it’s not exactly dry. But we don’t get the winter road salt!

What are the guides you are talking about?

Hi mate, Great video. I also have replaced my front oil seals. Unfortunately they're still leaking soon after. From the same passenger side. Some are saying axle housing or bent shaft may be the problem. Are your seals still holding up or did you find the problem? Cheers!

Mine is not leaking again yet, but it usually takes about 5-6 months to happen, so I’m not yet convinced!

Did you use the MOPAR 2-piece seals or aftermarket one-piece seals?

Mopar 2 piece

@@CliffsHowTo Thanks! So both pieces install from inside the carrier, it looks like (rather than installing the smaller part on the axle and the larger part from inside the carrier? I'm just getting ready to tackle this on my '17 Rubicon and the e-locker wiring is going to be a big issue....

It’s a 2 piece design, but they install like a one piece: press it in from the inside, then very carefully slide the axle in. Make sure the axle is super clean!

Why didn't you clean off red RTV off the rear before putting cover back on

That came off the lubelocker gasket, so I was hoping it would seal back up, if I put it back on, the same orientation it came off. It did.

Just throwing it out there, if the gearset doesnt come out you have to spread the diff case with a special tool

I did have to use a spreader on the rear. I’ve not had to on the front though.
