Title: 99 WJ 4.7 rear axle pinion seals
Post by: Rob1642 on May 14, 2011, 05:02:02 PM

Hi,  I have recently bought a 99 WJ 4.7 that requires a bit of work doing to it.  Having a new front to rear brake pipe fitted on Monday as it is showing signs of the usual corrosion fault at the rear clip.  I have also got a leak from the rear pinion seal, but am trying to work out which axle I have, and where to get said seal without having to pay the 38 pounds quoted by the stealership.  Any help would be appreciated, many thanks

Thanks, that clears that issue up, now I need to find somewhere that sells the seals.  I've got no problem changing it, just need to get one in the first place :banghead:  I will have to wait till Monday and give Lighthouse a bell, hopefully they will have something in stock.

Went to change the seal this afternoon, got the prop off to find that it wasn't 1 1/8 yoke nut, it was 1 5/16!
