I have a 94 YJ and got TJ axel shafts for the front. Has anyone done this and does anyone have the info for the seals I need and if the axel tube has a place for the seal at the carrier?

John

You use the same seal as in the driver side. Then you can remove that outer seal and bearing and get a bunch of mud in your axle tube:D

Superior has some seals in nice red-anodized aluminum housings you bang into the axle tube ends, don't have P/N sorry.

BTW, check if you have true neutral in your xfer case if you flat tow. ($300 extra mod to my "cheap" axle upgrade.:( )

i take it you never got my message???

You can get all the instructions from warn for their one piece kit.. or just buy a driverside seal and put it in there

I recently broke my inner right axle shaft and am also considering changing to TJ axles. What do you do about the vacuum disconnect housing and shift fork on the YJ?

I looked around Warn's website for their instructions regarding axles swaps and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have that literature anywhere?

Also, is there a way to coax those damn rotors off? They are rusted in place apparently and don't want to slide off the hub. :mad:

Any help is much appreciated! :beer:

The TJ one piece axle will slide right through. Just toss the shift fork assembly and cover the disconnect housing with a piece of sheetmetal cut to fit (and gasket of your choice).

Thanks Matt,
I was hoping that'd be the case. What about the vacuum lines and the other electrical connectors that attach to the diff?

Oh yeah, and any suggestions on getting the fu©king rotors off? ;)

Just zip-tie them up out of the way or cut them off. The vaccum lines might need to be plugged -I'm not sure if there is anything else on the circut. The wires are just for the 4x4 indicator light in the cab, and I've never needed a light to tell when I had her locked in...:cool:

For the rotor?? Yea, BFH. I think BigDude has got some guns, maybe he'll swing it for ya...;)

Roger that! I've got just the hammer... Is there a sweet spot that I can give it a little "love tap" and have it come off?

"uhhh huh huh, I said COME... huh huh" :flipoff2:

Probably rusted onto the hub in the center. Whack it (:rolleyes:) around the outside of the wheel studs.

What is the size of the axle nut on the D30?

A) 34mm
B) 36mm
C) 1 3/8"
D) Other

If other, WTF size is that bastard? I don't have a socket that big and was going to stop off and get one tonight, but don't want to piss in the wind and get the wrong socket.

Thanks,
Ray
