your local jeep dealer should know this just bring in your VIN and they can bring up your vehicles specs
Depending on the vehicle, a diff bearing kit is a kit you can purchase that contains all the parts to freshen up a differential. This usually includes the pinion bearings and races, pinion bearing shims, pinion seal, pinion crush sleeve, pinion lock nut, carrier bearings and races, carrier bearing shims and a new gasket.
BEST SUGGESTION IS TO USE RTV SILICONE WITH A SEAL A SNUG THEM REAL GOOD
You can find it in the owners manual on page 5. It says and I quote " Dee z Nuts"
remove rear drive shaft from vehicle.remove large nut ( pinion nut) at front of diff, which is generally hidden when driveshaft is in place.with a bearing puller remove pinion bearing, replace with new one. install new pinion seal. reinstall pinion cover and pinion nut. tighten to specified torgue.reinstall driveshaft check diff oil for proper amount
is 7.5" with 4.10 and 2 pinion open diff
bolt diff cap what is it
To determine your diff ratio, remove the cover, count the teeth on the ring gear, then count the teeth on the pinion gear. Divide the ring gear number by the pinion number.
Can be found in service manual, possibly at library or at parts store.
You could remove the diff cover and count the number of teeth on both the ring and pinion gears, then divide the number of teeth in the pinion into the number of teeth on the ring gear and you will have the ratio.
remove drive shaft. remove large nut on pinion . using a puller, remove yoke from pinion.remove pinion seal. install new pinion seal.replace yoke. install NEW pinion nut,to correct torque specs. reinstall drive shaft.PS now is a good time to replace U-joints while u have drive shaft out
You probably have torque wrap from driving in 4WD on dry pavement. Get off the pavement and try disengaging.
