Tech Note 1: When Removing
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 the disconnect (right) side on vacuum shift axles. These are tricky seals to install, but you can EASILY do it with one of these kits! QT1032 differential case spreader is definitely recommended but not absolutely required for differential removal/installation. 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 Warning
QT1080 and QT1089 Installers are Adjustable Depth type tools that allow you to offset the seals 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!

Tech Note 4: Axle Bill of Material (BOM) Number
TS4624 and TS4801 Kits  do NOT work 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.
