Mr. User says:

What a great video, two questions; 1) what year is your jeep? 2) how much more complicated is it if there is a locker? Thank you in advance.

Rich Haseltine says:

My 2013 Jeep Wrangler sport is leaking all seals. Inner & outer looks like. The video helps. I just need to find time and help to do this. Thank you for your videos.

Wayne Lockett says:

Thank you. This video is great. I will have no problem replacing those seals.

Harley Deuce says:

Save time by leaving the hub connected to the axle. Why take the extra step? When you pull the hub the axle come out too.

Mike James says:

Can you use break cleaner for the differential housing/parts?

Michael James says:

I was able to remove one of the three 12-point bolts, the other two are stripped. Any issues with using MAP gas to heat them up?

Is the spec for the torque of the side caps 45 ft/lbs- 60 ft/lbs? Currently have my jk dana 30 apart. That was the torque spec I was told by a friend. Currently torqued at 52 ft-lbs.

Great video guys! I have a Rubicon with the factory locker. I heard you need a special tool to remove the electrical locker connectors. Do you know if that's true and if so what tool?

Charlie St. Cloud says:

I have a 2016 wrangler, I went off roading about a year ago. Got stuck n put a lot of pressure on one of the front wheels winching it out. Notice a little oil like fluid had leak from one of the front wheels on the inside near the axle I guess. Now my abs n traction control lite comes on only in the summer when temps are warm, but never in the winter when temps are cold. Anything like that ever happened to you or have you heard anything like that.

JeepGuy says:

Great video. I just noticed oil coming out of my Dana 44 axle shaft so I’m guessing it’s the seals. I will give this a shot myself now that I’ve seen your video. Thanks

G Hernandez says:

can I get the seal installing tool from autozone?

Shawn Lambert says:

Just did mine today! Thanks for the video, it was super helpful.

Intense Rider says:

after watching your great video, I feel that I can tackle this task. Do the gears always come out that easy like in your vid or will I have to pry it out of the differential? I watched another jeep video, that I would have to get some kind of spreader tool for the differential housing to get the gears out, is this true? thanks

Ze ZO says:

Man ur the best

Fatima Mohammed says:

you are awesome thank you for explaining. ive been topping off the pumpkin for about a year now cause I was too scared to do it myself and couldn't shell out 700 to have it done. I didn't want to mess with the r+p. going to grab that tool and attempt this myself.

Jeremy Kibbey says:

My Jeep JK front axel shaft slides left and right (while installed) and is leaking fluid out of the drivers side. It has sheered my locking hub caps off as well it seems to slide so much. Any ideas why?

GPLOCK says:

Great content. I’m not going to do it cause I don’t have all the tools. Fml

Slow and Curious offroad Adventures says:

Such a helpful video thank you so much I have to replace mine in the apocalypse
