I had my rear driveshaft (new to me 78 cj7) fail at about 65 MPH on the freeway. I already had a leaking seal on the AMC 20 pinion, and the yoke on the T-case side took a mild beating on the way out, since this is the u-joint side that failed. SO I've got new u joints in both sides of the...

I'm going to be tackling a pinion seal job on a Dana 44 axle tomorrow. Any suggestions or tips? 2000 Wranlger TJ, 200,+++ miles on it. Thanks in advance.

Hey so I need to replace my front pinion seal. I don't have time to do it myself so I brought it to my trusted mechanic. However, when he went to replace the seal, he couldn't get the crush sleeve to move back into the shaft. He said they even tried prying it a little, but it won't budge so I...

The dripping leak finally got worse than my fear of screwing up the crush sleeve today. I replaced the rear pinion seal & changed my diff oil. The worst part about it was that the one of the bolts on the diff cover was waaay too tight & damn near rounded off. Other than that, I had done my...

My rear axle pinion bearings are shot. Took on water some probably through a bad pinion seal. It waited to die 25miles from home though and now I am wondering if there are any tricks I can do, without causing more damage, to get it home where I can fix it. I have a Jack and an assortment of...

I took the wheels and drums off the rear. Dropped the axle and proceeded to loosen the pinion nut with my impact and as it starts to loosen i realize i forgot to record my preload. DAMNIT! Is there a way to set my preload without screwing anything up?

Right now, my 04 TJ is a little over 28,000 miles. The rear pinion seal is already leaking, and I am wondering how abnormal this is...

After wheeling in deep mud and rocks I noticed some oil on the floor of my garage. I checked the level in the rear diff and as soon as I pulled the plastic plug thick oil started to ooze out. Is the level of the read diff supposed to be over the plug on the rear of the pumpkin? Anyways, Here is...

After changing my rear pinion seal I am getting a shudder type vib. This dosent happen all the time, comes and goes. any suggestions?

At least I THINK it is the cause. After replacing the rear pinion seal about two weeks ago, I was dismayed at seeing the leak return. So today I went out and took everything off and removed the yoke. On the sealing surface (which I did hit with emory cloth) there is pitting on the entire...

Okay this all started about a month ago when my rear pinion seal started to leak. I replaced the seal and didn't have any other problems. That was until yesterday when I noticed a leak from the rear axle. I climbed under it tonight and looked and found almost all the fluid had leaked out and...

Spent all afternoon in the blistering heat changing out the seeping pinion seal on my '04 tj. Was much more a PITA than I was led to believe. The damn nut was really on there. Tried breaker bar, no dice. My impact gun, not a chance, buddy's newer impact, the nut just laughed at me, had to phone...

So, A couple of days ago I heard the whirring noise coming from the undercarriage then CLUNK! I had thought my tranny gave out. Got my TJ back to my dads house and turned out I blew the pinion bearing(?) in my rear differential. I'm running a Dana 35 with 4.10 gears in the rear I'm not sure...

It's leaking a lot now and I was wondering if I can do it myself with my basic tools... Any writeup on this subject?? Tried searching for it and ended up with hundreds of pages. Couldn't find it :confused: Thanks :tea:

2005 Jeep Tj, d30 - d35c, I-6, 6spd manual. My rig has 119.5k miles on it. The overwhelming majority are hwy miles, but, it's seen its fair share of off road miles, too. Recently, while doing a grease job under it I noticed the front pinion seal was starting to leak. Well, at 119.5k that old...
