mjtjnj Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey guys, ferkocked the drivers side axle seal in my haste to get on a new unit bearing. Two questions: Carrier is sticking from passenger side. Removed outer shaft, slid coupling ring off, can't get inner passenger shaft to slide out any...wth? Also, when I get the carrier off, is it necessary to install the new seal with all those extensions from the passenger side, or is there another means of getting it in through the pumpkin? Thanks a ton...grrrr Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The passenger side inner shaft has a c clip on it inside the carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjtjnj Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thank you. I figured that from reading some other boards, but I had already cleaned up and put everything away. Anyone got a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to edit this to ask: Does anyone with the FSM handy know the OEM Chrysler # for the axle seal installer tool? I have a friend in the biz who might be able to get me one. Thanks!

Tom I'm not sure this is the one you're looking for but the FSM under "Front Axle" lists tool #J-34659 as "Axle Tube Bearing and Seal Removal/Installer" :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I use a Harbor Freight seal and race driver kit and a framing hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjtjnj Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hey guys, A little stuck here, maybe someone could help me out? Got the seal out and reinstalled, no problem. I torqued down the bearing cap bolts, and couldn't get the axle shafts to slide in. Over torqued them a little, and the drivers side went in. Still can't get the intermediate passenger shaft to go in, despite over torquing and tapping. Should I just keep tightening and tapping or is something wrong here? Thanks...bout ready to pack it in for the night and hate leaving it this way...again! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
