So I need to replace my front axle seal in my 90 Cherokee. It originally had the vac disconnect but the PO replaced the axle shaft with a one piece so I'm not sure what axle seals I should purchase, the ones with vacu discconnect or without?

Edit: Axle is a D30, figure I will repleace both sides

If the outer (P/S) seal can actually accommodate a one-piece shaft I'd go that route. Extra oil capacity is a good thing.

Salad I just saw this post of yours:
So for mine do you think I need items #23, 24, 26?

salad

If you want. The oil seals are 21 and 26.

So just to be sure:
x1 dust shields (#23)

Edit:
or do I need
x2 (#26) http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Drivetrain-J...pn=CROJ8121781
Since the vacu/disco was removed and axle replaced with a one piece?

Sorry if I seem a little lost, going to have someone help me with the install I just wanna make sure I have the correct parts.

I'm no expert on this, but don't you need to use the seal in the diff housing like was intended for the one piece axle? I doubt the one piece axle has a machined surface for the old cAD type to ride on it.

Cruiser's right. For some reason I was thinking of a vac bypass mod when I typed that (not actually a one-piece shaft). The driver's side seal is the correct one. My phone apparently doesn't feel like displaying that diagram. Omix-Ada 165.3602, National/Timken 710068, or SKF 11899 are alternate part numbers.

Alright so driver side is correct and for passenger just order one of.the part numbers above right?

Should I still order the other parts like dust cover and what not?

salad

If you're doing a rebuild sure, why not? My plastic dust shield things were fine.

Jakers

Thanks for all the help so It looks like will work for the passenger side if I understand this correctly and then I'll just order the driver side one I already linked below with the dust shields as well just in case, right?

salad

Drivers side and passenger side are identical with one-piece shafts. Sure if the price is right replace as much as you can

Jakers

Ahhh okay cool so I'll just go with Timken one I listed. Thank you soooo much for helping me with this!!!!

Edit:
So what axle shaft do you think the PO replaced the two piece one with? Is there any way to figure out? This is my original thread I started when I was going to bypass the vac disco but found out that it was a one piece https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/cad...ed-fix-175364/

No problem! For actually changing the seals I bought a socket that fits both sides of them, adapters since it was 3/4" drive, and a pile of 3/8" extensions. Stuck the contraption down the axle tubes and went at it with a rubber mallet. I figure I can use the extensions when my CPS goes out anyway hehehe

Jakers

Ya I'm going to go to China freight and pick up some extensions for.sure, do you happen to recall what size socket?

salad

I used 32 or 34mm or something. Can check tonight
