sar4x4 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 So as many or everyone knows the new wheeler has had a small set back. However the parts are being ordered and work about to begin. Parts Ordered: Axle Seals front and rear For your front axle seals, the bearing seals at the knuckle or inner axle seals near the center section? I'm about to change the inner axle seals on the Dana 60. Had to get them from 4WheelParts. Wierd looking things! Have to pop the ring/pinion gears and differential out!

Nice to see you posting on here Scott, what is the point of the additive anyway? I never added it to mine when I had it does it make it slip more or less?
