Tech Note 1: Product Note
Successfully installing a CAD seal without the correct Seal Installer has about the same chance of success as buying a winning lottery ticket. Makeshift methods don't usually get the job done due to the restricted area you need to work in, and the amount of compression needed to be applied to the seal. Due to the way we have to make the Tool, your Seal Installer and Seal MUST match. QT1084 will only work with original equipment design, CR manufactured seals with green shells such as our QU40270. Seals manufactured by other seal manufacturers WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS INSTALLER!!!! If you have the orange/red, NOK manufactured QU40159 seal use our QT1029 Installer. We do not manufacture installers for this application to fit any other competitive seal designs such as National or NAK.

Tech Note 2: Installer Options
We make two types of Seal Installers for your Ram 4x4: Adjustable Depth and Fixed Depth. The Installer on this page is an Adjustable Depth Installer that allows you to offset the seal to a deeper depth to miss a groove or other damage on the axle shaft. This Installer will work on both 1989 to 2001 Dana 44 and 1994 to 1999 Dana 60 axles. However, YOU MUST be careful you do not set the seal TOO DEEP which may place the seal beyond the axle shaft seal surface!

Tech Note 3: After Axle Disassembly
Once the axle is disassembled, the old seals can be easily removed with our TS1184 Seal Remover Tool Set or other suitable tool such as a length of sturdy pipe that will fit inside the axle tube. You will also need to clean the inside of the axle tube to remove dirt and crud that could get pushed into your new seal during reassembly.
