Inner Differential Axle Seal for Front Dana 30

[JoeLAW]

Hi I recently added fresh gear oil to my front diff, and now it started puking it out through the passenger side axle tube. Also I tried to test the 4x4 and it is not working, so I think either the diaphragm in the axle to lock the shaft is done, or my new to me axle has some more issues.. I hope not, but since I already need to take a peek inside for the oil leak I'm thinking of just manually have it locked and leave it like that, I thought of getting a stock shaft of a newer TJ/XJ, but I think that since the split shaft looks thicker than a stock TJ one, I'll just leave it there till I save some $$$ and buy me some RCVs What do you guys think? Also Another question I had is that since the split shaft stays inside the housing whenever you take out the outermost part of it, is there another easier to get to seal around the split shaft?, or do I actually have to take apart the carrier in order to change the differential seal? Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

If you still have the stock axle shaft setups with the CAD then the right (pass.) Side seal is behind the plate on the right side of the axle. If you choose to replace the CAD shafts with a single piece shaft then you have to open up the diff. And install a seal there. Although I have installed a oem one piece shaft seal on

the outside edge of the CAD box with successful results as well.
