Applications
Tech Note 1: Removal
Whenever you remove the front axle shafts on your Jeep, inspect the shafts and axle tubes for any signs of differential fluid leakage. It's a lot cheaper and easier to replace the seals than rebuilding your diff after it blows up due to oil starvation! Differential removal is required for the left (drivers) side seal, but not the disconnect (right) side on vacuum shift axles. These are tricky seals to install, but you can EASILY do it with our tools! QT1032 differential case spreader is definitely recommended but not absolutely required for differential removal/installation. We also find QT9018 dead-blow sledge handy to reinstall the differential. Extra seals, differential cover gaskets, and RTV sealant are available separately.
Tech Note 2: Use Proper Tools
Successfully installing a CAD axle shaft 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. QT1080 Right Seal Installer will only work with original equipment design, NOK manufactured seals such as our QU40098. QT1089 Left Seal Installer will only work with original equipment design, NOK manufactured seals such as our QU40307. Seals manufactured by other seal manufacturers WILL NOT WORK WITH OUR INSTALLERS!!!! We do not manufacture installers for this application to fit any other competitive seal designs such as CR, National or NAK.
Tech Note 3: Adjustable Depth
QT1089 Installer 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. However, YOU MUST be careful you do not set the seal TOO DEEP which may place the seal beyond the axle shaft seal surface!
