TK4992 2011-2018 JK Rubicon Oil Bath Type Axle Seal and Tool Kit

TK4992 Adjustable Depth Inner Axle Seal Kit for 2011-2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK Dana 44 Front Axles. Our unique installer design will press in new your Inner Axle Seals without damage because the CNC Precision Machined Installation Tool only applies force to the steel seal shell. Axle Shafts worn or rusty? No problem! Our Install Tool allows you to install either or both Inner Axle Seals to a variable depth to miss grooves worn in your inner axle shafts.

Tech Note 3: 2012 Change
For the 2012 Model Year, a change was made from QU40812 conventional, Single lip Inner Axle Seals to D440600 Oil Bath type Inner Axle Shaft Seals. The ID and OD of the seal is the same so they are dimensionally interchangeable. QU40812 has an integral axle shaft guide to help lift the axle shaft into the seal which allows the axles to be installed even if the original guide ring is missing from the inner axle shaft. D440600 does not have an integral guide so a guide ring is installed on the inner axle shaft at the factory to align the axle shaft with the seal during axle shaft installation.
