D-30 inner axle seals, what is the correct way of "POUNDING" them in there, i did use the search, now im here!

 

Here's what I know.................

on my vette I used a 36mm socket 1" drive with a short piece of 2x4 and a 5lb. sledge. with short handle.

this drove it in squarely.

am thinking the Cherokee has 32 -34 mm size.

my opinion sir.

Go to http://go.jeep-xj.info/ home page. Im sure he has an excellent write up on how to do it. You dont usually pound em in...you pull em in with threaded rod and big washers.....

 

I used a piece of pvc through the opposite end of the axle and held a socket against the seal and pounded it in. Works good but takes 2 people
