Rear seal 2000 jeep cheroke
Did you remove the diff cover before you started?
Thanks for the fast reply. Im doing this job on my jeep soon. Just a quick
question, did you have to drain the differential fluid?
Hey Shawn, sorry for the late reply. I believe they were still using the
Dana 35 axle in 2004, but I’m not sure it was the only option. You should
be able to find a Dana axle guide based on the shape of the differential
cover.
@killerhamster104 Hamster, the tool we used to take out the axle assembly
is called a slide hammer. Slide hammer’s should be available from Sears or
other major tool suppliers.
yes
call your local napa. some of them have a press. if not they usually can
tell you who has one
What year is your Jeep? Is it a regular Cherokee or a Grand Cherokee? (they
have different axles)
is there a way to “cheat” pressing the new bearing in place if you don’t
have a press?
Great tutorial. I just have one question, whats the tool you used to take
out the wheel axle assembly from the jeep?
i used this video to change mine (’00 larado dana 35) i was able to do
everything with no problems THANKS YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! also when i
pulled the cover i found that the gears looked brand new… the hardest
park was those damn drums they took longer to put on than the bearing and
seal replace lol
part not park lol
The race just comes out that easily? when I did this job I was able to get
the race out only after grinding it out. I had no idea that it was that
easy to pull the bearing race out by hand.
Do I need to drain the fluid? And do I need a press or is there a way to
get around it
@killerhamster104, you do not need to drain the differential fluid to do
this job.
Thank you for posting this. I was first told you had to undo the dif cover
and pull the “c” clip…That is going to save a lot of time…
What if you dont have a press? And how do you the 4 bolts to come out the
back side of the wheel?
Yes you must remove the bearing, That is the only reason we pulled the
bearing in this video. The bearing was fine but the seal was bad.
how do you get the rear tire off
Fantastic tutorial. Answered every question I had.
nice work,and fast 2
Will this also work for a 2004? With v6. Thanks Shawn
Nice quick overview! Was this a Dana 35 or a Dana 44a? I’ve always thought
WJs had a c-clip axle, but perhaps some do and some do not…
Remind me to never take my vehicle ther
@DansAutomotiveWA also a note you can rent these tools from most automotive
parts stores and when you bring it back they give you your money back. You
just put down the price of the part
@AKDropem, no we didn’t remove the diff cover for this job, it wasn’t
necessary.
Sounds like the dentist grinding my teeth
I own a 2000 WJ. i see you just pulled the race out with your hand. mine
had to be pulled out. Question is why the difference
Do you have to remove the bearing to replace the seal?
How easy the race comes out completely depends on the conditions the
vehicle has been driven in. Rust is our enemy.
Well that just saved me alot of time. I thought It was the same as a
regular Cherokee. Crap!
