Tech Note 1: Step
QT1230 is stepped so when you place pilot step in the end of the axle tube, it will center the pull rod which ensures your seal will be installed square to the axle bore. Also see our QT1002, QT1139 seal installers along with QT1048 press rod.

Tech Note 2: Fits
QT1230 tool ONLY works on 1984-1987.5 XJ or 1986 YJ models with CAD. These early production CAD axles use QU40105 Seal which has a larger diameter. All 1984-1986 Jeep CAD axles use QU40105 Seal. The only 1987 axle that used QU40105 was on early production XJs with axle Bill of Material number 610175. All other 1987 Jeep Dana 30 CAD axles have the smaller Seal included in QK4624 Kit. If you have a 1987 XJ, check the axle Bill of Material (BOM) number which is stamped on the front of the right axle tube next to the differential housing and also on a metal tag held on by the two farthest right differential cover bolts before ordering parts.
