So I had my right rear axle seal replaced on my 99 wj. So they r pressed on the axle with the wheel bearing. My mechanic said he replaced bearing n seal on right axle n said he replaced the seal on the left as well without replacing the bearing cuz he had the special tools to replace the seal without removing the wheel bearing. Is that possible when they r pressed on???

 

Didn't I answer this in another thread?

 

U told me to look at it u didn't answer the question

 

Seems like a decent enough response.

 

If I was a mechanic n knew wat to look for ya sure it would b but I'm not that's y I'm on this forum asking about it in the first place

 

Just replaced my rear axle seal and bearing. I don't see any possibility to replace the seal without taking old bearing and retaining ring out. Perhaps, if you could press them out without breaking them you could reuse them. But I don't see any reason why you would like to do that.

 

Ya I found out I misheard him they didn't replace the seal without the replacing the bearing thanks guys.
