I thought that is what those type of seals were for, but I didn't know for sure.  Good info Bob.  I agree with him though.  The seals are a pain to install.  I did mine of my HP60 without the tool.  It just took a lot of time.

Mr Rock:
Kirk has these on his axle and I think they do keep the oil from leaking.

i got a set used from the jy and they kept all my fluid inside my diff but i pumped them full of grease once a month

Cheek-Bone:
I put a set in my 92 YJ and they do keep the gear oil in, the biggest thing to remember is to keep them full of grease. I had a slow leak out of the axle tube and once I installed them the leak stopped. I didn't want to go through the trouble of replacing the inner seals so I got these. If you are still running stock shafts in a YJ with the vaccum disconnect and you want a set of these, a CT company called Seal-it sells them. I took apart my axle and gave them the dimensions so they could make a set that would work with the larger shafts. Seal-it was the company that first developed these style of seals. Here is the website if anyone decides that they want to get a set for a YJ. http://www.sealsit.com/

Just because the leak stopped does NOT mean the leak is fixed. It will just start filling up the axel tube & the fluid level will get low in the diff. As I said before. These seals are only made to keep the mud, dirt & debris out of the axel tube to protect the inner axel seals.
