so if you haven't seen my build page yet, i put an lpd30 in my jeep because the hpd30 has over 200k miles on it. i want to rebuild redo whatever to the axle (hpd30) while its out of my jeep. i have a pretty low budget so what would you guys do to this axle if it was yours?

keep in mind the low budget and please no "throw it out and build a d44." not an option right now.

thanks,
Ryan

 

Replace all the bearings and seals first and foremost. Check the ring and pinion gears for excessive wear and replace if needed.

 

pull the guts out, theres only 4 bearings inside there, if u have the right pullers take the old ones off read the bearing numbers and go to the parts store shouldn't be complicated since your not changing gears. be sure to get races if they don't come with, then throw a locrite in and go. but thats just me. if your wheel bearings are bad they'll be the most pricey.

 

oh yeah seals to, as winston427 said
