Still need some advice on how to change front inner axle seals on 87 wrangler! Thanks :shock: :oops: :cry: :roll:
 

prolly have to pull the axles and grab the old seals out and hammer new ones in :mrgreen:
 
fill the dif with fix-a-flat, that will seal her up real good





seriously, your gonna need a slide hammer. you can borrow one from autozone for a refundable fee. While you are there you should pick up a haynes manual, that will make this and all your future repairs alot easier. or you can go to the autozone website and they have sort of an online haynes manual.
 
Suspension lift - Front-end alignment?

These sites cover swapping in TJ shafts into a YJ, but also mention axle seals.

You can buy a 4 or 5ft. threaded rod and make your own axle seal tool that can remove and install seals. You'll need a few nuts for the rod, along with a few washers, one to fit over the seal and another large enough it doesn't slide into the axletube. Cranking on the threaded rod would then pull the seal evenly into it's seat.
