Replacing The Pinion Seal On My Jeep TJ

[@ryansremark6983]

Don’t Dana 44s use shims, Unlike the Dana 35 which have crush sleeves? So is the marking of the bolts necessary if the bolt can only be torqued to a limit?

[@WheelinWithWally]

No I dont think it is. After Reading your comment I did some more research and you are right the Dana 44's only used shims not crush sleeves. There is a lot of misinformation about that and it seems like thats what I read. I was also in a rush doing this right before a trip to Windrock so that might have had something to do with it.

@@WheelinWithWally yeah that’s even better for those with d44s, one less thing to worry about, cheers and keep up the excellent content!

[@WheelinWithWally]

@@ryansremark6983 thank you for commenting that to let me and others know. I'm still new the the dana 44s.

[@pauldenzio997]

So I don’t need to mark the bolt and everything if you have the d44?

[@svendolufsen849]

Hey, those leaks are rust protection for out jeeps, LOL

[@rickyn1858]

The nuts are a one time use and made to be that way to stay tight.. setting that pinion preload with nut is very crucial with a crush sleeve as not only does the nut stay tight but the bearings have the proper preload... If you had a crush sleeve eliminator you could just then tighten the nut to torque specs as it wouldn't over preload the bearings in this instance... I would keep an eye on that as now you have done it... good luck

[@WheelinWithWally]

I had never heard that about the nuts before so that is good info to know. Thanks

No crush sleeve in a TJ Dana 44

[@jeremyhibler]

So that seal fits both front and rear Tj rubicon 44s ?

[@WheelinWithWally]

Yes it's the same seal

[@Miohunter444]

No issues since you did it? I need to do my WJ.

[@WheelinWithWally]

No issues

Hi, would you like to get some free 7inch headlights?

[@WheelinWithWally]

What style of headlight? I like the look of my current halo headlights.

There’s no crush sleeve in a TJ Dana 44

[@WheelinWithWally]

Thanks. I had just swapped to the dana 44s and didn't realize. Another commenter brought it to my attention too.
