Jeep: Rear Diff Seal
By Jason Bolonski
My quest to identify all the major oil leaks sent me digging into the rear diff seal. This would also give me the opportunity to inspect the gears in the diff.
Rear Diff Seal
I wanted replace the gasket and have a chance to inspect the gears.
I went to replace the seal and a gear tooth fell out. After thorough cleaning and inspection. I couldn’t find any missing or chipped teeth. I’m guessing it was there from a previous gear that was replaced without cleaning everything out.
I took the opportunity to take this disaster down to the bare metal and give it a fresh coat of paint. I might as well do the axle seals while I am down here. (Thats what she said)
