Default Front Diff-Yoke seal

99 Cherokee... front diff looks like it's weeping under the yoke.Can I do this myself or will I need a big impact to pull the yoke to replace the seal?

You'll want a good impact for removal and a torque wrench for install. Torque on the pinion nut is 175ft/lbs.

Dont tighten the nut back on with an impact, if you over-tighten youll smash the crush washer and it will change the pinion depth, which of course is no good.
