I've done the output seal on the front. The rear is probably easier as access to it will be better. Post up some pics of what your seeing.
This is what I’m seeing. I’m assuming after pulling the yoke I’ll have to pull that housing to get the seal out? Wouldn’t think the leak would look like this just from the yoke O-ring right?
Pull the yoke/flange and the seal will pry right out. Don't over think this. Simple install .
If it was the oring wouldn’t it be coming out from by the universal? That just stops fluid from traveling up the splines. Looks to be the seal to me.
Finally found an exploded view and part number. Wasn’t sure which side of the housing/bearing retainer that seal installed from. Looks like you’re correct though and the only thing that needs to be removed would be the yoke. Thanks.
That’s what I was thinking too. And would be flinging everywhere.
Prior to tearing it apart, make sure there is no play. Some transfer cases have a bushing in the output housing. If that wears out, the output member will have play and can cause the seal to leak or get damaged. I don't recall JKs having issues with either but I've seen it many times on other vehicles.
10-4. Thanks for the tip. *no homo
