How to Replace Inner-Axle Seals // Jeep Wrangler

Today on JD Cars we’re replacing the inner axle seals on the Jeep! I am demonstrating this process on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited but the process will be virtually the same on any Jeep Wrangler. This is one of those projects that’s really easy to push off and say “ah it’s fine… I’ll get to it.” BUT DON’T. If you push off the replacement of these seals and lose all of your fluid… the result will be catastrophic failure of the front differential. I highly recommend investing in the installation tool (ask your Jeep friends if they have one first) and certainly do spend the $20-30 on the outer axle seals. Overall, not a terribly challenging job. Just take your time.

bro your videos are so good!!!!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you!!

[@rafaelsanchez7962]

Nice video, well explained, I wonder if you encountered the same issue as me, I noticed that the outer seals (which I ordered the same as you did) they will spin with the axel, they wont stay in place, had to return them, but other than that the job was a success, Im curious how your outer seals are doing

[@ECMWoods]

Excellent video!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! Hope this helped!

[@mikimiki195]

Thanks a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@leorael4497]

Do you grease the seals before sliding the axle back in ?

[@keithtaylor638]

Nice work. Did you consider replacing the bearings while you were in there?

[@jkmoneygone172]

So how did you remove the old seal?

[@fabiangalindo6192]

Hi ! I'm about to do the same but cant find the part number anywhere. What inner seal did you get? I have a 2017 jku dana 30 so it might be the same one

[@ellisduck216]

Is the outer seal worth getting my seal just blew on me and a shop is gonna charge me 600 to do mine

[@ellisduck216]

And what outter and inner seal do you recommend and should I replace bearings

[@SertEngineering]

Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to replace them? (Consider no video recording) just straight from start to end

[@JDCarsChannel]

Happy to help! Without recording... maybe 3-4 hours.

[@warrenphilbey]

Great vid (and others), really helped and also used your links to buy some bits. Is there an email I can use to contact you on with something that would help you and your followers? Cheers.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! Glad the videos were helpful. Feel free to reach out on our website (www.jd-cars.com) or Instagram DM @jd.cars

[@bigearz972]

Anyone have a link for the inner seals?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Gotchu! amzn.to/3L9EjZn

[@BeauNadian]

How have the outer seals held up and have they helped? I’ve heard lots of guys complain that they can trap water in your tubes and make things worse.

[@JDCarsChannel]

The outer seals have yet to blow... but you really do bring up a good point. I hadn't considered drainage. Might be the reason Jeep didn't put a seal there 😂

[@NoName-OG1]

@@JDCarsChannel jeep considered cost of the average driver not going into a muddy river bank. Or heading out in sand afterwards. A good pump of grease before a trail run will keep the majority of crap out. And anything small enough - like water will eventually cook itself out. Watched you video because I’m about to do the same...

[@mojo4376]

Dude, that’s the worst gear oil I’ve ever seen.
