Has anyone had to replace the passenger front axle seal yet? Mine is leaking and I was wondering if anyone had any info on the procedure. Thanks

 

They're sort of a PITA to change. The seal is just outside of the CAD actuator. You have to change it from the CAD opening. Not much room to use a conventional seal driver and hammer. I made up an installer out of a piece of all-thread and a couple round plates and pulled it in from the outside of the axle tube. There's some good instruction's on Dave Fritz's website. Go Here

Have fun

 

First make sure the reason it's leaking isn't because the differential is overfull.
Factory recommended level is 3/4" below the bottom of the fill hole on level ground. I've seen many leaks disappear after lowering the level or when it leaks down to the correct level. In fact I have an axle seal in my glovebox that's been there for 150k after I finally read the manual about the correct level.
It may take several hundred miles for the fluid that is trapped past the seal in the axle tube to finally dry up, it needs a tilt to get out.

 

ok thanks. The passenger side is the only on leaking

 

I wasn't so lucky with too much fluid. One of the slides on the shifter fork broke and took out the seal. Hope you have better luck than me.

"If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."

 

If you do have to replace the seal check this link out, I have this seal puller for mine, you might be able to make up something cheeper but the quality on quad 4x4 stuff is top notch so is customer service.

you can get at the seal with the CAD stuff pulled off. This guys method worked pretty well for me, except I didnt have anything the right size to press the seal properly, and the one I got was too large for the shoulder it sits on. I ended up stuffing it in and using lots of silicone.
