Front axle

Gr33NGoph3R:
I have a leaking axle seal I assume its from Mohawk I don't have the tools required to get into it and do it myself and I've never opened and axle before so any assistance would be greatly appreciated     

Bill3753:
I believe the Rubicon 44 front has an internal axle seal that requires removal of the air locker and ring gear to replace.  I'll research it to be sure, but I am almost positive that is what your looking at to replace the seal.

yes they cost 10 times what a normal seal cost but are 10 times easier to install

This is a good price, they normally run $65 to $75.

Thoes axel seals are only for keeping the dirt out of the axet tubes & are not disigned to hold gear oil in the diff. You do need to replace the axel seals & you will need to remove the compleat carrier asembly w/air locker. I also recomend buying a seal installer witch is a threaded style spreader witch has a seal cup on each end & makes installing both seals at the same time a snap. I do not own one but when the time comes when mine start leaking I will buy one. I assume it can't be too expensive. Im shure there's other ways to install the seals but if not installed compleatly straight & they will start leaking again & it sucks when you have to do it all over again. Do it right the 1st time.

The outter seals are not a bad idea cuz they can keep the dirt away fron the internal seals witch can leed to seal failure. Not shure on how well they work tho.
