In this video we tear apart the big Dana 30 in the front of this customers Jeep Wrangler. He wants the inner axle seals replaced as well as the wheel u-joints. Let's get it ripped apart and see what we see.
-Enjoy!

All right folks. Believe it or not, we got something in here. It's not a Chevrolet Next best thing, it's a Jeep. It's a Jeep thing we don't understand.
Uh, the guy says he wants front axle u- joints put in it and he also wants the inner axle seals. so these are going to be the seals way on the inside. the axles. Uh, where you got to pull the carrier and stuff out of the front differential and then pop the seals in.
so only got a little bit time left today. We're going to get doing as much as we can and then try to fit a video together where it looks all seamless throughout the next couple days we're working on in between jobs. So let's get the wheels peeled off. Let's get the brakes peeled off it.
See what we got to do to get the wheel bearings out. These things are usually a pisser to get the bearings out because they're a 12-point head. Um, it's 7 years old in New York salt. so typically the 12-point heads are round headed at that point.
Typical Cher fashion. the wheel nuts are swollen. got a case with a swollen nut so you have to use a 19.5 mm. Your standard 19 won't fit it anymore.
Uh, or if it does, it just kind of strips off the outside. So I've got these special sockets 192 on one side, flip it over 18 and 1/2 on that side for when the Chrome cap falls off. Looks like somebody just did a breake job on it's. got a new caliper on this side and a couple new ones on the rear.
Well, I was going to just pull off the caliper in the bracket as one assembly. Um, I Think we'll pop the caliper off. It's got your classic DIY or curly Que in it. Uh, so they've got this brake hose pinched really hard right here.
so we need to undo the the curly queue so we'll just pop the caliper off and then the bracket separate. I Guess just to make sure things are lubricated whatnot when we go back together. I'll show you about this curly queue here. See how tight that little guy's twisted up there? Yeah, we might have to put the wheel in just to get it off here.
untwist it. and this is what it should looked like. When it's right, you know what I mean Jelly Bean So that'll keep your hose from getting twisted, getting twisted. We'll get a caliper hanger there, don't you worry? Pull these little guys off so still got plenty of pad on it.
We'll stick them to the side looks like he greased into the bracket. We'll get a big socket for those. It happens, folks. it happens to the best of us.
Got to watch your curly cues. Watch your curly cues. Oh, that wasn't very tight or Thor is super strong today. All right, going to throw them bolts right back in here.
We'll be sure to put a little Loctite on them and of course, torque them to factory specs. that's always send that to the side. Pull off the RoR she shiny I Know what? these are 13 maybe? Maybe that's what they were someday a long time ago. What the world get all Michael Jackson on that thing.
just Beat It Well it's not 13. let's Whittle it down. We grab this a 12. Eventually we'll just grab at the oxy and settling. Oh man, eha look at that one out of six. Not bad. yeah. 12 points in New York As they say down state, forget about it.
We're just going to go right with a 12 on this one. Forget about it, huh? Like little Woody Woodpecker over here. Oh look at that. That's not good for your extension fell.
Let's get a see if we can get a swivel up in this joint. Forget about it. That's what they say. Forget about what else they say down there.
Hey I'm walking here say stuff like that. oh man, it's got H in the teeth. These things are dangerous. danger, danger, these get too bad.
I' like to say I just take the torch we just cut right off. That should. That should work. Watch your face Oh Mr Nice Guy huh.
that was just down in New York City The other day down in Manhattan my brother took me out to dinner at a fancy restaurant we went to lay Bon it's a French restaurant three Michelin stars. Felt super out of place. Had to wear a suit, they only let you in without a suit. Had the chef's tasting menu and then after that experience we went down to Bleer Street and got some pizzer.
as they say, miks of bleer Street that's where we went Mike's abler and that was good. Sat on the back of his truck in our suits drinking beer and eating pizza. Oh you mother lover, you mother lover. try this again.
I Got one more to go on this side choking up on that hammer like a girl. Woo No mercy. Well they all came out. look at that.
Today's our lucky day. We're going to unhook this ABS wire while we're right here and then over on the other side. It's got some zip tie action so we're going to have to UND do the zip ties. One thing I Was curious when we was down state was trying to find a place to park apparently driving a 2500 HD that you can't get in many parking garages.
So we had to go to about four different parking garages to find a place that would let you in. It's too big. it's too big. They always told us uh, let's see and the people I Don't know how people live there.
There's people everywhere everywhere as you go, there's people that's interesting. Well I'm not going to quite well. Yeah, I Guess we could. Let's cut the zip ties.
we'll just use this. They look pretty little, but this thing's pretty dull and the tool box is way over there, almost 4 ft away. See if I can do it. Almost got you.
Come here. There we go so we'll have to follow this up. well. plugs in right behind the shock Tower Well might have to get that from under the hood.
Let's get the axle nut off. Give this a couple whacks, see if we can pull the bearing off in one piece. That would be super handy if we can. The other thing I found interesting too is that a lot of the parking garages have big signs here restricting EVS no EVS found that kind of peculiar no EVS no 20 500s Oh, she's stuck like a Chuck I don't know how stuck it is. We're going to find out I Don't think it's too bad. it can only go in so far I think we moved it? Yes sir, have a close look. can't see cuz I'm Blinded By the Light blind Okay, I think we're in good shape. We're going to try the Ly 4100.
This has been featured in many of the Ja's handy bit of kit for pushing off bearings when you're trying to save them. so we stick that on there. Oh that one's backwards F I Got a cone taper on one side. We go like this: give the little two finger twister classic move.
These are pretty stout. okay, typically I wouldn't I wouldn't advise against pushing on the caliper bracket, but in this case I think we're going to be okay. So we're going to come in here. We're going to push push push push right on this bracket.
not super. now. like I say you got to use your noodle what you push on like I Say these are pretty stout the way this is made. Nothing bad can happen.
I mean unless you're a total dingdong, but we're going to try not to be way not to be a ding-dong guy. and now we're going to spin it around town here. Well, we might not have manhandle that sucker out of there now. now we're good.
Look at that. We ain't even going to play bringing out the dog, show you how the dog does it. Oh that's how the so we haven't taken our wire out all the way. So bit of a underwear we'll just stick that right there.
Get this little yane right here. There she is. doesn't these axle joints? This one here feels pretty good. Nice and floppy.
Oh Mr floppy. That's not something you want to be called, but uh, in this case this axle seal looks like it's been leaking the tubes full of the gobbly Go! We'll get these this little guy out of here so this holds holds the axle in Center when you go to put it in so you can just say guide me in baby and that lines are right up where you got to go. you don't really need them so seals way in there. So that's this side.
I got to do the other side. other side's going to be the exact same method. if anything special happens over there. I'll come and get you on the older Chryslers that had a vacuum actuator front end.
you had to make darn toting that you locked in fourwh drive before before you pull the axle. otherwise the little coupler there would fall down and you'd have to reach with the pry bar and flick it back up and have somebody put the P drive. So free tip for you. If you're an old mechanic, you know what I'm talking about.
Got you been there done there? This axle is being a little stubborn. Oh there it goes. See do a little stuck. Oh I we see joints is not Mr floppy we'll tight that direction.
Oh there it is. She's the big one. What size is that? Oh look at that. You must be living right I Love it with a swivel and survive.
There's a nut. Make sure you place it. it's a Nylock okay uh let me get a you know that thing. Come on man. Jeez, there we go. That's why I wanted one of these again. We're going to use the DG special edition. It's going to swing down and hit anything I Don't think so Scared me.
Got to get this out of our way and the steering stabilizer will hold that other. You can put put a little something there little something. we'll get a little something something not just for calipers anymore. Kids all right Tie rod holder.
Let's get the front cover off. Looks like somebody just had it off. It's got fresh silicone on it is fresh. is my H At here it is.
Is it? 13? Hope so that's what I got Woo Oh yeah W All right there it is. all them mols Free Tip: Friday For you, screw that one in there just a wee bit. Grab it's a scraper. It'll striketh through handle style.
Or if you don't have a strike through handle, it's a plastic handle. Be careful or go borrow one from your buddy. Oh that came off way too easy. Dude Looks Like Honey Brand new too.
See the free tip is with that bolt cuz if you just did that and it came off that easy. Bam boom Splash Boom in your face in that order. That's what would have just happened 50% of the time. Every time there she is the big.
Dana 30 The big one. It's got the big one There we go. Let's take a mark our carrier Little Clampy D Dad's there. we'll mark them cuz I don't think, let me get a flashlight here I Don't think there's any markings on them to orient them? Let me get a r.
there's one right here on the floor cuz see, these things are line board. Yeah! I guess if you put the SE facing up. well no, that's not true fella. I'll show you how I do it.
It's the wrong way. but it works for me anyways. grab yourself a little prick. we give her one prick Aoo there one prick aoo there on this side we give it the one.
two two Pricks one prick two Pricks There you go. So your two pricker goes here. your one pricker goes here Pricks go up that Mak sense. load the dust off your 58 soccer.
probably show up a 16 on there. oo Saucy move that exhaust before it blows the gear at us. Oh yeah, Oh yeah man, this thing's got some fresh stinking gear oil in it. m love that smell said no one ever.
Now here's the tricky part. Make sure you can see marks. Oh man, that's a clean that lip man that stinks. We're going to take and pop this out.
You got to shim on either side. You ain't want to going to mix them up. Definitely don't mix them up. We're not changing any bearings or anything so we don't need to take any you know, before and after measurements of anything.
And we don't have a case spreader. so we're going to just marrow this baby around here so we can get up inside here. Not happening. Let me get the big bar of prying and then before we catch this all on the floor, free tip Friday for you. This will save you some embarrassment sometimes. Those shims there. you know they're cast. so if they fall out and drop on the floor cuz snap.
we'll get our little screwdriver here. Oh up in here, get on something good. Give her just a oh yeah, what's my name? Oh now we're disengaged. let's get up on this side.
Okay I think she came out and hit the Caps yes ma. oh yeah, they sure did. Set that one back down this down. just hold your hand like this just in case something terrible happens.
and then I think I can get a little screwdriver action from from The Edge quite possibly catch on that bearing race. Oh you bet I can. All right. see you tomorrow Josh All right, it's not really that hard.
it's just I can barely grab it cuz I don't want to go get a screwdriver left shim we leave in there. or yeah, left shim even though it's on the right side and then keep your bearing races with the appropriate bearing. this shim goes on this side. so let me, uh set this in my drain pan.
just like so okay that's in my drain pan. We don't want to mix up shim so let me show you a free trick Me: M on me. This one's so good it should be on 5 minute crafts. Just your classic standard zip tie.
we're going to run her through cuz we don't want to go mixing these up and inevitably we're going to. and you see, we got to clean this stuff off and the parch waser. so we'll go like this just so we don't lose anything. You know what I mean and we know where who goes where.
Bingo Bango! now you can go wash it and the parts wor here. these you don't have to worry about cuz you mark them, you know what I mean everybody's happy now Smell like freak Geo Here's the guy that wears GL loves checking some stupid wires. Now we're doing something that's actually costic and here we are. But it's too late now.
we already got the Stinky Stink that the seal looks like it. Mother Freak Freckle got it. There it is. There's one seal.
Get it out. Oh there's those I wonder where those suckers were I didn't see them on the other side now I got them. and then we got to take the other seal out. Mother freaking.
Freckle Yeah baby, we don't play. we don't play I get those right from Chrysler I don't even know that they make them aftermarket. They probably do. but oh I'll be dipped.
This thing's got a drain hole. What would you look at that I wonder why they took the cover off? probably cuz they did a bonehead thing like I did like oh it's got a drain hole I Didn't know these things had drain holes. We had to pull the cover off anyways. So there we are.
We're all ready. We're all disassembled. Yea time to go home. It's 5:00 One thing we need to do though.
go wash your patties. save your napkin. okay, stick that in that tube there. All right.
and then let's see if our screwdriver is going to be lost enough. Oh I think so. we'll go from the driver's passenger side. we insert our screwdriver all the way through and we'll push all this gunk out. Oh There She Goes did it come out? Oh yeah, look at that and then we'll go through the short side here and push the crap out of the other side. But we're going to have to get a new Hany. This one got pretty dirty. Go get yourself some cheap sunglasses is what he's saying I wish we could play the radio.
That's the suckiest part about making YouTube videos. No radio. Oh yeah, oh got be getting closer. I Wanton to go all the way.
Oh wait I think I might have been hit my handle over here. Oh yeah, all the way. So that gets the majority of the crap out of the tube. You got to get the crap out of the tubes.
Nobody likes crap in their tube. So basically I'm going to quit here for the night. Um, what needs to be done is just a whole bunch of cleanup right now. So we're going to clean up the Hub face.
We're going to clean the rust out of the middle here. So we're going to use a something a rust cleany upy tool. We're going to clean the rest of the crap out of the axle tubes. Uh, often times I'll just use the Pr bar like we used or we've got this classic piece of pipe it's called My Be Cool tool That's What I Call this you know in case somebody comes in like Y Man Be cool.
Just kidding. we don't use this. we shoot people. Um, but we need to finish cleaning out the axle tube.
There's still lots of junk in there. We got to get that out. and just all that. So I'm going to get that stuff clean.
The wheel bearings have to be unhooked and and cleaned off. so the cleaning process is kind of a crappy thing to sit here and watch so you'll just have to use your imagination. and then once this is all clean, we'll clean up the carrier and the parts washer. and then we'll um, we'll start putting stuff back together.
I'll show you how to put the seals in there. Uh, sometimes that's a Twan uh deal. I Got to remember which one cuz usually I use my pipe and just a seal installer so they're not too terrible. You know, providing that, you're doing both of them.
but I would imagine anybody going going all the way is going to do both of them, so that's it. We'll see you if as soon as everything's cleaned up.
Big Nasty, Thor, any Lisle tool! It's a great day. We want Vic😂
Dorman makes a set of 6 point replacement bolts for those bearings
Since you were on bleecker st did you go to 177a and look for Dr Strange ? Of course there is plenty of " strange " in NYC.
I'm guessing the EV parking restriction is due to their weight.
Had to laugh at the thought of Eric in a suit, in the city, in a2500 H D. Mountain Mafia comes to town. Wondering to myself, WTF was he thinking? Then it dawned on me, it's a Thanksgiving thing, "Thank you, Lord, I'll be home tomorrow and I don't have to live like this every day."
Good thing you went out before tearing into the diff, that usually takes a couple of days for the smell to wear off. Glad to see I am not the only one who tywraps the shims and the bearings together. I learned that trick from Crawford Clements, way after he had retired and just piddled around doing what he felt like doing.
Enjoyed this one.
I use a extra long broom handle for both cleaning and seal installation. I've got a stiff rubber disc I screw to the end of the handle to scrape the inside of the axle tube as well. It's a jeep thing!😊😊😊
That tool box is 4 feet away, up hill, both ways, in the snow, during a Noreastah! LOL
the Less Michelin stars the BETTER more stars more poncy trash less quality
They don't want cars that can easily catch on fire because of the overheating battery a LI ON BATTERY EVEN A SMALL ONE CAN BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE SO THEY DON'T WANT STUFF CATCHING ON FIRE
We went to 3 Michelin Star dinner for my 40th. I wasn’t impressed. Super stuffy and a cocktail was over $25 each. The only thing impressive was the bill. Tried and never again.
I have done a lot of these. The easiest way to get the bearings out of the knuckle without the correct puller is to put the rear lower 12 point bolt back in 1/2 way, stick a deep socket on it, start the jeep, and turn the steering to push out the bearing. I have also found that dorman replacements for those 12 points sometimes hit the axle and need to be ground down a little.
Several years ago I bought a set of SAE "fits all" sockets and also a metric set. Every once in a while I blow the dust off them and pound one on a rusted bolt / nut. SAE won't fit, pound on a metric!:) The internal fascists are very sharp and grip like crazy. And I'm sure craftsman designed them to be pounded on!😊

What brand of scan tool do you use?
Funny, I always hear "Ford, what the F" on those lugs…yet everybody has gone to them for some reason. I was helping my neighbor on his 'Chevrolet' (said in Eric O Voice), and it had the same freaking 2 piece lug. Other neighbor down the street came by and said "HOW THE F DO YOU GET THESE LUGS OFF"…I told him oversized socket, and he said "My Hondoo has the same freaking problem, the lug nuts are swollen". I hear the same about the darling of Scotty K…swollen nuts. I guess it isn't just a "Ford thing" after-all…
As for no EVs? VERY common after the whole "Chevy Volt" fire thing. Chicago, Detroit, LA, all are "NO EVs" in the garages. I think that in Detroit they can part EVs on the TOP level if it is "OPEN AIR" (Cobo Roof Top Parking), etc.
Tech'd on 27th st. for 6 yrs. Buddy I talked to said rent for a 600 sgft 1 bedroom is now $7200 a month. You gotta be crazy to live there. I commuted.
Thing about the EV in NYC parking garages are that one, fire concerns since the batteries can ignite if damaged and can't be put out and two, the weight of an EV is more than 1/4 to 1/2 ton over same size car. Most garages are rated for specific tonnage and some NYC parking is on rooftops and they pack those cars in like sardines for profit. IIRC, one collapsed last April resulting in a death. Some of those places are 100 years old so…
I appreciate the crowbar with the screwdriver handle.
3 Free Tip Friday tips in one video. Outstanding!
Bonus tip for you married guys: wear gloves when messin' with gear oil. Wives, for some reason, aren't as, shall we say, enamored with the smell of 90 weight as we guys are.
Now I can speak as an old guy used to old soap technology, though things change, but washing your paws doesn't get the smell out. Not really.
And for the love of dog, don't get any of that stuff on anything that's gonna go in her washer! A smart man will keep an old, serviceable washer in the garage. Not that I claim to be a smart man, but I liked to up my chances of finding love in all the right places. I mean, it's bad enough trying to get jiggity with the mother of your children after she spawns them; don't kill your chances altogether by bringing weird smells into the bed chamber.
Free advice from an old guy. Even older than Eric.
The EV’s like to burst into flames which would burn down the parking garage and the building sitting over it!
Spent years living in Manhattan… a few months in Washington Heights, then some time in Harlem, then SoHo, and finally the Upper East Side. Funny thing was that despite all the traffic and constant construction noise, when living in SoHo someone had a some chickens and roosters in our building…you'd hear the sounds of the city every morning along with this rooster every single morning. Miss that place, but not enough to go back to live. We've talked a bit before, but it's fascinating to see the difference from upstate compared to the city. My brother went to med school in Manhattan and then residency in Rochester. Completely different New Yorks…..but the rust remains the same, lol. — He now is a big deal in Southern California; soft as hell now.
Eric you are my favorite youtube personality. Very educational and very funny.
My great aunt lived in New York…she always used to send nice christmas presents over to us in the UK. She never married, maybe why she had money for nice christmas presents!
You totally got me with the do it like Micheal Jackson lol.
If you think upstate NY is bad, you wanna try downstate NY Lol.
Damm Eric, you make this job look easy peasy! Ahh, the power of YOUTUBE video!
No EVs because extra fire risk
Ah yes. The music is back with big nasty. Love it. Keep up the great work Mr. O.
Rust ? Ain't hardly any rust on that …
Piece a cake..👍
I used to deliver buns for Wendy’s restaurants and I had to go into New York Cities like Queen’s and Brooklyn and I could never understand how anyone would live like that on purpose! I even delivered to your closest Wendy’s in Bath,I almost stopped by your shop to say hey but I didn’t wanna be “that guy” who rolled up in your lot with a full on 18 wheeler.
Ray does an axle video, then you do. WHY do you guys do the same videos? Still think Eric is secretly living a double life in Florida as Ray from @RainmanRaysRepairs
THE BIG NASTY MUSIC IS BACK, TELL EVERYONE!!!
As a retired machinist & Tool & Die maker you have one of the most co-ordinated pair of hands learned over time that I've seen in years I highley recomend teaching in an industrial shop for teanagers and or high school level when you get the urge to retire Your so gifted and need to pass it along , God will reward you for saving lives and teaching the young how to help themselves in this ever changing world…..just a thought Eric!
Be cool, Yolanda.
She had a West Coast strut that was as sweet as molasses
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Several of my Fords suffered from crusty lug nuts in the PRMi. The last example was on my wife's Fusion. Dorman to the rescue. No problems yet as they are one-piece nuts.
I wonder if the No EVs is because of how dangerous they are if the worst happens. I wouldn't want them in my parking garage if I owned one.
Blinded by the light…. Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night
Man your fam would be hungry and the mortgage payment would be behind if you worked at a dealership, that job pays .8 hours
I’ve always wanted to go to New York to see the statue of liberty, try a bagel, and eat some pizza. Apparently the Pizza in New York is amazing.
so, your brother tried to push you out of your comfort zone. he was trying to introduce you to something different. variety is good for the soul and it's the spice of life man. LOL
G'day, Eric! Nice job!! Great sense of humor! Really enjoyed the video! By the way… I wonder, if you had misspoke yourself? Why? (Because… I didn't find a Mike's of Bleecker Street) But, there is a "John's of Bleecker Street", highly rated in many food blogs and websites as a top sit down pizza place in NYC. Noticed all their pizzas are full pies, there's no slices available here! Lol! 😉Thank you! Cheers! ❤✌🏻🛠😊
You make it look so easy and that I could do it. But I’ll have to take pictures and probably video and see how to get it back together. I would like to try on one of the older models that still has a distributor and no computers to mess with. It’s like you have to go through mechanical school and then electronics school.
Ev = fire risk
So how was the food? Never been to a 3 star, but a 2 star restaurant 🙂
Big bar of prying…I gots to get me one of dem
Old Volvo or new Jeep… Same axel 😋
be cool🤣🤣🤣
Nice Work about Car Repair
i need to get me one of those screwdrivers don’t have it in that size
"Just kidding, we shoot them." 😂😂
I vote we continue sound effects for The Dawg! 😂
"Just kidding. We shoot people"
I need that on a t-shirt
Fun fact – Half inch is between 12mm and 13mm. May have worked better than the 12mm on some of the bolts where the 12mm was real tight. I've watched a bunch of your videos over the past few years and really enjoy them.
Man .. y'all need to be careful up there….if y'all getting SWOLLEN NUTS
love when the air hammer comes out
why are you always rippin on Chevy Eric O? are you a ford or dodge guy? or a kia lover, just checkin, thank you for your great repair videos
They probably restrict evs because of the fire risk
Have they started doing what they do in the uk and charging you for taking big cars into city’s
Eric you get new Cameras ?
Looks better !!!
Thanks
Just a heads up the caliper would have flipped over just the same with the bracket
I gave up on Chicago over 20 years ago and never looked back. I love my cornfields. Also, with the proliferation of EV "runaway exothermic reactions" with their associated wildly difficult procedure to extinguish AND the very toxic off gassing coupled with a temp 4x of a regular gasoline/vehicle fire AND enough heat to cause structure damage/collapse, it's quite understandable. See: The "Dutch Oven" fire of a few months ago, (just the latest example). What's the brand/part number of that cleany upy tool? "Just kiddin'. We shoot people." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WHAT? 90W Gear Oil is the most pleasant scent in the world! 🙂
Next time go to a Blarney Stone in NYC
I see many mechanics who do a lot of gear work and don't have a differential case spreader. I could maybe understand it in the days when Owatonna tool was the only option at close to $1000. Now there are many options as low as $100.
You talkin ta me???
Of course the seals are inboard at the housing. Even my old Ford Ranger's 7.5 inch different had the seals at the flange end. Much easier.
On to part 2.
thanks for sharing i have a 1994 ram 2500 4wd fixing to have to do the same job on it good refresher thanks again
Your M J needs work… your work is tops! I know… everyone's a critic. Lol
that stop being a jeep after 1995
Those big Dana 30s are built like anvils.
The reason the chrome lug nut covers fail is use of impact guns on them. Use proper wrenches and they last forever.
My mother's garage had thick plywood walls under the siding .My dad had a heavy work bench at the back wall .The studs were exposed on the inside, and the space was 24 on center. My dad nailed some 2x4s across the space at eye level 6 feet 4, I was outside the garage working on a pile of yellow elm, and my mother called for lunch and 30 yards from me was a standing elm trunk and I flung the double bladed axe and stuck it in the tree trunk.
I’m actually about to replace my axle seals on my 2016 jku. Couldn’t have asked for a better early Xmas present!
Are you ever cut the cord, pneumatic is out dated and irritating to watch………
did i read somewhere that us keyboard warriors were supposed to fire up the keyboard when we see you using a chrome socket with a impact wrench well i hope i am doing my job lol lol lol ha ha ha
What happened to Jay?
The Jeep forum people said those 12 point bolts are 14mm, but also complained about rounding off the heads. When I removed my wheel bearing, I tried a 12 point 13mm and it worked perfect. I tapped it with a hammer too. My Jeep is a 2012 Wrangler Sport, which is the Dana 30 front-end. By the way, an OEM driver's side axle shaft is $700. You can pay half price for a good aftermarket axle shaft, split the plastic axle tube cap off the old axle, then glue it back together on the aftermarket axle.
Any tips for getting the gear oil smell out of clothes? Washed shirt 4 times and still smell it.
My goodness, imagine peoples everywheres saying "Hey! I'm walking here!!" 😅
It's a JEEP thing, not a Cheap thing. The NYC trip did you well. It's obvious you're happy to be 'home'.
"Too big!" "Too big!"
<giggle>
<giggle>
Yeah…I've heard that before too…
…from my bathroom scale 🙂
Pizza and beer at 1:00 AM on the car hood, in the hood, 1st n 118th at Patsy’s. Malicious 😋
"People everywhere" that's why they call it the city that never sleeps.
The no mercy reversy does in the rusted 12 point.
Eric, you love the big Dawg! Shes a sweeeet heart❤
The Dog is my favorite employee at SMA. He never disappoints.
EV=Extra Volatile
EVs and wind turbines, monuments to the stupidity of man.
Just learned from the Richard and Teresa educational channel about the importance of cleaning the tubes. Nice
Eric O………..zip ties are now known as "Pegs". Just so ya know, ya know.
I used two 31 mm sockets with a all thread and washers nuts and push seals back in NO pounding.
I bet that job will be expensive…lots of work to be done
My suggestion is just to ram a pole through open axle shaft and knock out the seals without the drama.
No EV's in their garages due to the low probability, high consequence fire risk of an EV in a parking garage. Ala Luton over in the UK (It was a diesel/electric hybrid) that caused a fire that took the garage and 1000+ cars out.
