QT1216 2.25" Axle Seal Remover

QT1216 2-1/4" Front Axle Shaft Oil Seal Remover is used in conjunction with our TS4863 Handle Set to remove the front inner axle shaft oil seals from many late model 4x4 trucks with solid front drive axles. QT1216 measures a bit under 2-1/4" Outside Diameter, so it will work in all axles with axle tube inside diameters of 2.25" and larger. Maximum seal ID 2". This remover is primarily made to remove the large bore, right side inner axle seal on 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks with vacuum controlled Central Axle Disconnect (CAD).

Applications

Tech Note 1: Axle Seals
Most inner axle seals are located right next to the differential and are impossible to replace without disassembling the axle up to and including the differential. Once everything except the pinion gear is removed, you drive the seals inward until they drop into the housing.

Tech Note 2: Use Proper Tools
Once the seals are removed, you need to clean any dirt, grit or crud out of the diff housing and axle tubes. After that, you can install your new seals. Seal installation is best done with our tooling made for your specific application. Sometimes you can get by with makeshift installers you cobble together, but in most cases, using makeshift tools just guarantees you get to do the job all over again.

Tech Note 3: Other Tool Sizes
Besides QT1216, Our currently available attachments are:

Max seal ID with rubber lip seals is 1.5", max seal diameter with oil bath type seal is 1-9/16" (used on Ford Excursion and Super Duty® Model 50 and 60 monobeam axles from 1999 to 2004). This remover fits most Model 30, Model 44, and GM 10 Bolt front axles.
