I figured it out. I don't have to pull the cover off to replace the seal. But I do need to be careful with the keyway and not let it drop. If I do I may have to drop the pan. I'm doing u joints right now on the axle and it's turning into a pain. The little plastic dust shields are all broken so I need new ones but I don't know where to get them.

Put a new harmonic balancer on and the new seal. I had a guy at my school do it since he had time but didn't do a very good job and it's leaking again :/. I'm just gonna replace it again at my house the right way. Kind of disappointed cause I gave him 40$ to do it. But oh well. I bought a new amp and 2 new subs in a box for it as well. I am needing to get pictures here soon though.

I got a new high lift jack for my jeep and a folding shovel, along with 2 12" subs with a 1800w amp. But by far the best thing is me and my dad helped my little brother get his very own jeep. A 87 wagoneer for 500$ power windows black primer paint. It's a diamond in the rough best part is the factory Dana 44 rear end! We have big plans for it too

I have new used stuff!
I got a new ash tray that stays up a new throttle body and I'm having it machined to 60mm
We got new body parts for my brothers wagoneer. I also am putting longer shocks in the front with 1.5" spacers and not sagging leafs with about an 1" of lift the shackle that's on there and then 2" blocks. I have the bushings for building my own track bar as well. That little air intake thingy is going in my stock air box when I build the cowl snorkel. Along with rebuilding my tire swing so it's stronger.

Put all the lift components on, pain in the butt with the rear though. Shackle bolt rusted into bushing had to cut and pry, front frame side bolt rusted in like none other more cutting, bolt broke off inside... There's a bit more welding. Finally done and I think it's almost perfect. 1" in the back will get me there. I also got my 60mm bored out stock throttle body put on and am quite impressed. I drove it around the block was quite disappointed drove on the highway much better. It pulls a lot better and has a slightly lower rpm at higher speeds. I also got my headlights fully adjusted and I must admit any good headlight upgrade is crap with out proper adjustment. I'll post pictures when I get off my lazy butt and email them.

Ordered a lock right for the front hopefully it gets here soon then I'll be putting it in this weekend. Also noticed my hi lift jack is bent and I've only used it 4 or 5 times kind of disappointed.

Finally getting back on here. Since I got that lock right put in the capability is a thousand times better. I got my self some brand new 4.5" leaf packs and threw them under the jeep. Then I had more and more death wobble problems so I made myself a double shear track bar. That made my steering and whole front end tighter. I need a drop pitman arm really bad my wheels way off and adjusted as far as I want to go. I have one but it's back in Utah so hopefully I'll be getting that soon. Also my dang NSS switch is being stubborn but tough to work on it at the moment because Right now I'm in wyoming attending wyotech. Must say it's pretty awesome so far. Chassis fabrication is the course I'm in right now and I've learned how to tig weld, properly fit metal tubing, build a roll bar and a perimeter frame. Lots of information has been crammed in my head and I've been learning a ton. For my class project I'm rebuilding the rear bumper, well I'm building an entirely new rear bumper. My current one mounts in the stock locations and suck really bad and the tire sways back and forth really bad. Yesterday was my birthday and that could have been a better day. I was driving down the road at night at about 45mph when a deer ran out in front of me. Just broke a hella and possibly bent the steering slightly.
Leafs
Custom double shear track bar
Whoops moment! Dang oh well :/
