This was incredibly helpful. I had a seal leak, but couldn’t get access to a bearing press, so I went with a full axle assembly from another auto parts supplier. (I checked and 1A Auto didn’t seem to have it.) It would’ve been more cost effective if I could’ve just replaced the seal, bearing, and spacer, but it was so much more cost effective than paying for what my mechanic was asking - $1500 for the seal leak and contaminated brakes. I saved $700 after parts and tools. I can’t help but think that Sue’s from New England with that “wicked tight”. LOL Thank you for this super helpful vid.

@Rocscrawler 5 лет назад

Nice job. Very concise and thorough step by step. I have only one question though. What happens to seal when the clean dry steel axle starts rotating inside the brand new DRY rubber seal as it goes down the road before the axle lube gets out to the end of the tubes to lubricate it?? I was taught in Arizona Automotive Institute back in 1975, that the new rubber seal MELTS from the friction. I was taught to put a very lite coating of heavy axle grease on the surface of the seal and the machined surface of the axle where they are going to ride to prevent friction. That prevents the seal from melting and causing a new leak on your new axle seal. In 15 years in the field, I (knock-wood) NEVER had a comeback for a new axle seal leaking withing my standard 3 year warranty period. Other than that, the step by step was very informative. Thank you.

@Cartman4200 3 года назад

The seal has lubrication on it from Jeep. Well atleast the seal i got when I performed this repair.

@garyboardwine3349 2 года назад

Always pre lube the seal and axle bearing

@kirkh4205 4 года назад

As a tech at a shop, I feel like this misrepresents what may ACTUALLY be required to do this job. MAYBE you will get lucky and your axles will come out without a slide hammer, and MAYbe the backing plates wont want to come off with the axle. I suggest having a slide hammer handy. People might start this job and end up needing more tools than you're showing. just saying.

This is a great video, and Sue does good work, for sure. She’s careful and patient, and keeps everything clean and simple. My question relates to the reassembly. Sue installed the e brake adjuster in the down position, but when she removed it, it was in the up position. Does this make any difference? Wouldn’t the adjuster loosen off instead of tightening up? Thanks.

@kxpilot71 2 года назад

Great video and got me through this job with far less issues than learning as you go. I now know why you skipped the part of installing the e-brake shoes. You almost need 4 hands for that nightmare, and that took me almost longer than replacing the parts on the axle shaft. As some others have noted, I also had to pop out the race. I used an arm from a 3-jaw puller, which allowed me to get behind the race and pop it out with one good tap to the back of the race. At least Dana is smart enough to leave some of the back edge of the race exposed, unlike Toyota... Watch out for the little white plastic piece inside the ABS sensor clip. There's a bit of vacuum created when pulling off the wiring clip, and that white piece can pop out and get lost easily. I was lucky that I saw it fall out, or it would have been gone. Note for Rubicon owners: With the e-locker, you will not be able to pop the axle shaft out from inside of the differential as shown here. The carrier housing does not allow access to the inside ends of the axle shafts. Another video shows flipping a rotor around backwards, sliding it back onto the lugs, loosely threading on 2-3 lugnuts, then using the rotor like a slide hammer. My axle popped out on the 3rd hit using this method. Knowing this information now, I would not do the additional work to remove the diff cover of a Rubicon unless you find reason to on the drain plug magnet. This will save you a good hour of cleaning, replacing, and waiting for RTV to setup a bit before final torque and fill.

@MarkPalmer1000 4 года назад

Many shops that do this install an aftermarket axle/bearing/seal assembly to simplify the job and save on the labor costs. Good idea to change the axle fluid after doing this, but truth be told you don't even have to pull the differential cover to do this job, just tap and pry the axle out between the brake backing plate mounting and the rear axle casting. If you have an axle assembly and the retaining nuts come loose easily, it's really only about a 30 minute job per side.

FYI my alldata manual says 45ft-lbs torque on those axle retainer nuts. It also said to replace those nuts and not to re-use them. My local dealer has lots in stock as this is a common procedure done at dealer service center. Also as another commented should I be greasing the bore/seal so I don't melt seal? Alldata doesn't say to do so....

I experienced the “squealing” phenomena as opposed to the “howling”.It only occurred at highway speed which I couldn’t quite pinpoint where it was originating.The rear passenger brakes seemed to be excessively worn more than the rest which leaves to believe that was what I was hearing.

@garyboardwine3349 2 года назад

I know this is 6 months late, I'm a retired auto tech, 35years, what i do without a press is to put the bearing and retainer in the oven, heat it up, get some crc freeze off , get a long piece of pipe that fits the retainer, support the axle, spray the axle with crc freeze off, slide the warm bearing and retainer down the axle, slide the pipe down over the axle, drive the bearing and retainer until seated, very easy

@kphee 10 месяцев назад

The torque specification for the four axle retainer nuts is 45 ft lbs. (61 N-m). I definitely do not consider this to be "wicked tight". Be careful you can twist the stud off of the retainer plate if you overtighten.
