Whenever driving a seal with a spring lip into a spot like that that you can't get behind, use some grease or "sil-glyd" to fill the channel that the spring rides in, to keep the spring front popping off when hammering in, could save a lot of time and headache. Awesome video, i look forward to all the upcoming content
good instructions, clear and easy to follow. One thing, don't use music, it really isn't needed and gets irritating especially when it's the same loop over and over. Just talk, dump the music.
Thanks so much for the video . My Ax5 is leaking badly , exactly the same as you described. I’m going to end up doing this job , and this video was a great help !!
They dont use them there so theres nothing to allow the t-case to loosen over time. The minimal dust that can get in there thru the weap hole never causes any issues and water just drains right back out
You're never supposed to put RTV on seals and you're never supposed to use Vaseline, it can dry rubber out, if you need an assembly lube use white lithium grease, or assembly lube.
There is a special tool to "press" it in. I generally despise tasks that require an expensive special tool that only does the one job. However, I did use an old bearing and hammer to seat it two or three times but it wouldn't stay then either (that footage didn't make the final cut). I discovered it can be pushed in by hand, so I did. In hindsight, I think the RTV made it a bit slick.
Michael BleepinJeep haha yeah I feel you. Ive never used a legit seal installer. Usually just a socket or a piece of wood. It seems like this seal has ribs on it so it wasn't quite as tight as a interference fit like a pinion seal or axle seal. Good video!
You want that dust seal back in, not metal on metal. That gasket will have a thickness of 1/32-1/16” which acts like a shim. I would put it back to spec.
my 98grand that seal between tcase and trans was leaking and everywhere said I would have to make my own bc it was discontinued if anyone knows where I can buy one lmk thanks y'all
Watch again, especially the vaseline part. There is at least 1/2" around the shaft on all sides. The seal doesn't ride against the transmission output shaft, but on the transfer case input shaft.
Bleepin Jeep usually has good videos... This one... Left out a few things. In the future if you forget to film a step... DON'T POST THE VIDEO! I don't need to know how to do something HALF ASS!
