Terrific video. Much appreciated. Planning this project for the weekend.

Just so the audience is aware… because I found out the hard way. This is not for Jeeps with a Dana 44 Axle. If you have a Dana 44, there are other videos that show the correct style of seal and axle shafts. It is a much more involved process for the 44 and requires a hydraulic press.

Hey awesome series of jeep TJ DIY videos.

[@MichaelGCox-yr8qk]

I am going to attempt this soon. Is this done on both sides?

[@PristineReviews]

Awesome, looms like I'll be able to do this myself

[@bingobandit]

I have a Dana 44 in my 1998 TJ, is it the same procedure?

[@johndb1224]

you only changed one seal - is the other side the same method? - just that the diff is different on the left side.
