Dana 30 Pinion Seal Replacement
Hello I have been researching and cant seem to find a dead/right on "How to" on how to replace my Dana 30 pinion seal..
Some forums say different Jeeps have a crusher washer or something like that and that tends to throw red flags for me and confusion...I know its important to mark the threads and bolt so you can make sure to get it real close to where it was at during removal but i get confused on what size socket I need for the Nut and how much torque do i tighten the nut to?
If anyone can please send me a good link it would be greatly appreciated..THANKS
Vehicle Info
-88 XJ Limited
-4x4
-Stock Dana 30 Front Diff
-Seems to leak where the front drive shaft goes into the diff

I just did a D30 pinion seal on a tj at work last week. Def mark the nut so you know where to get it back to. My supervisor also told me to go just a hair farther when you tighten it down. Chrysler torque specs for the pinion nut are 160ft/lb-200ft/lb. hope that helps!

Job was pretty straight forward required me to spend more $ but I guess that's part of the game and required a little more research .Hardest part was getting the pinion nut off it was a pain the behind
Thanks ASSETS (Alex)for the help and shadowing
