Remove driveshaft use a punch and mark the pinion and pinion nut use a impact gun and remove pinion nut remove yoke pry out seal tap in new seal reinstall yoke line up the marks on the pinion and pinion nut reinstall driveshaft thats about it in a nut shell |
xj hp d30 should just have shims, no crush sleeve. i believe just the tj d30 has the crush sleeve.
follow mattpar's instructions, then just torque your pinion nut down to about 200 lb/ft. you may need to use a set of large adjustables to hold the pinion while you torque the nut. |
Caged is right about the XJ D30s having shims only. No crush sleeve.
1.) Remove front DS at front axle. 2.) Remove front pinion nut, washer and pinion yoke. 3.) Pop out old pinion seal with blade screwdriver. 4.) CAREFULLY tap in new pinion seal. 5.) Re-install pinion yoke, washer and nut. 6.) Re-torque pinion nut. 7.) Re-install front DS at front axle. 8.) Check and if needed add front axle gear oil. With a bad seal I'm sure you lost some. |

not too difficult, but if you over torque the pinion nut putting it back on, then you have to redo the crush sleeve
