Fernando87mj Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 What’s up guys , I’m In the process of Getting my Ax15 ready to be installed in my 87 , I was about to change the output seal but I noticed that my new one doesn’t have a lip on it like the old one does. Did I order the wrong part or is it just made like that now ? any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Fernando87mj Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 New question , how flush should that pilot bushing go ? I got the one for the 1973 cj5 304 , and it’s in but it sticks out a hair and bothers me. Here’s a pic
Pete M Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 that seal doesn't look at all like it would work. is it for the 4wd AX-15?
Pete M Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 is the bushing bottomed out in the hole? It's been a few years so I don't remember how mine looked, but I used the same bushing and had no problems.
Fernando87mj Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 Doesn’t appear to be Pete. Here’s more pics.
Pete M Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I think the hole has a round bottom and if so the bushing won't be touching in the middle, only at the outer edge. can you confirm?

Fernando87mj Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 It’s one of the moments where I gotta walk away , plans was to put trans In this weekend , not going to happen anymore
Fernando87mj Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 Got it out , i knew i had ruined it when the clutch alignment tool wouldn’t fit in. Removing this really humbled me , man what a pain in the @$$. Lessons like this that you never forget. .
eaglescout526 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Want me to throw some part numbers in here? I see theres some pilot bearings and such available but am not sure how compatible they will be. 83502118 here's the 2wd extension output seal. Discontinued but some left. Course at that point youd be better off searching the PN.

Went and picked up another one , I did the same thing and it sticks out a tiny bit , do you think it’ll be okay ?
Pete M Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 yes. you've got the same engine, bushing and trans as I have.
Fernando87mj Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 This time I was more careful and heated the end of the crank and bushing and Used the end of a wooden hammer to drive it in , same result again that it sticks out a tiny bit. Not sure if I should worry or not. Thankfully this time I didn’t ruin it and my clutch alignment tool fits in beautifully. here it is installed. It appears like it bottomed out in the lip inside the crank as far as I could see. here you can see how much it sticks out.

MiNi Beast Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 your fine. run it. next time pack hole with grease and use a wood dowl in hole to drive bushing out of crank.

I like using bread. Get the super squishy white bread, pack it in there, and find a bolt that fits the hole well. Start hammering and adding more bread as needed. Works great.
