This is one of the best writeups I have seen and also has some links to others that have done it. http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/Jeep/d30axleseal.html He also has some nice info about mods to Jeep on his tech pages. I have done several of his & he documents well. I did the 15-20 gallon tank conversion and the remove restictor from stock air box (I have since replaced with a K&N & CATBACK & it runs even better). Check it out. It is not for the faint of heart. I had one done a long time ago on my 91 and now see it is leaking again so will have to dig into it. But I am also getting ready to do a frame off restore - due to rust so will probably do it at the same time. I found some GREAT rust free parts in Colorado Springs from Williams Restoration & a very good friend hauled them to Illinois for me. So this summer, the fun begins!
You have to remove the brakes, rotors, wheel hubs, axle shafts, diff cover, and differential carrier, seals are on the inside of the axle tubes.

The only factory front axle that came in a 2001 Jeep Wrangler is a D30.
The ratio is on a tag on front and rear axle between 2 of the cover bolts
That is the axle vent hose. It ties off to the body above the axle.
That depends on what seals are leaking. The inner front axle seals will cost you over 6 hours of labor plus seals and fluid.So if your local labor rates are $100 an hour that will be over $600That depends on what seals are leaking.

What size axle does a 99 wrangler sport have
Front axle is a Dana 30, rear axle is a Dana 35. There are a few Jeeps that have Dana 44's front and rear but this was a rare option.
It wasn't built with it unless it is a rubicon.
