Very nice video. You must live in a dry climate. Your Jeep is spotless. Unfortunately for most of us, doing this job turns into a nightmare. Speaking from experience due to living in a rust belt. Bearing retaining bolts will snap in the bearing hub, hun will be seized in the housing, axle tubes will be full of mud and dirt. Again, very nice video, just jealous. Lol
I am, curious what year your Jeep is? Mine is a 2011 and it appears that it calls for the one piece Mopar 5014852AB Axle Drive Shaft Seal. I wonder if the new 2 piece seal would work for me?
Hi mate, Great video. I also have replaced my front oil seals. Unfortunately they're still leaking soon after. From the same passenger side. Some are saying axle housing or bent shaft may be the problem. Are your seals still holding up or did you find the problem? Cheers!
@@CliffsHowTo Thanks! So both pieces install from inside the carrier, it looks like (rather than installing the smaller part on the axle and the larger part from inside the carrier? I'm just getting ready to tackle this on my '17 Rubicon and the e-locker wiring is going to be a big issue....
It’s a 2 piece design, but they install like a one piece: press it in from the inside, then very carefully slide the axle in. Make sure the axle is super clean!
Great video my friend. You would have saved yourself a great deal of haste had you dropped drivers side castle nut from your tie rod and dropped it out of the way.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to show us DIYers how to handle this all to common issue on our JKU's...
Great video. Did this finally resolve your issue? Mine is leaking now. I think I can tackle it myself but I may just take it to my local offroad shop.
So far, so good!

Florida, so it’s not exactly dry. But we don’t get the winter road salt!
Hi, nice video. Can you share the part number of the seal, please?

Okay, I just read that yours is a 2017 Rubicon. Mine is a 2011 Sport.
I actually have a 2014 Sahara. Dana 30 front axle. Yours should be the same.
What are the guides you are talking about?
Hi mate,

Mine is not leaking again yet, but it usually takes about 5-6 months to happen, so I’m not yet convinced!
Did you use the MOPAR 2-piece seals or aftermarket one-piece seals?
Mopar 2 piece

Why didn't you clean off red RTV off the rear before putting cover back on
That came off the lubelocker gasket, so I was hoping it would seal back up, if I put it back on, the same orientation it came off. It did.

Maybe the joints are loose! . Saludos desde Canadá
It’s not leaked since this last time. It must have been the axle
Just throwing it out there, if the gearset doesnt come out you have to spread the diff case with a special tool
I did have to use a spreader on the rear. I’ve not had to on the front though.
