Good Morning Everyone. I have to repalce the axle seal on my Dana 30 again today. How do you drive the seal into place on the inside of the diff case? last time it was a socket on the end of a broomstick driven from the opposite side. I think that may be what happened to it...but any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Later,

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You can make an install tool with a length of allthread, nuts and round discs or appropriate sockets.

Do a Google image search for seal installation tools and you'll see a few pics that you can duplicate.

 

Notice how one disc is larger.. to set against the first seal installed and not crush it as the second seal is installed.

 

Thanks Daddy Likes.

That is pretty cool.
