Front drive shaft throwing grease

[OverlanderJK]

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks! Mine doesn't look that bad yet just a light splattering so far must be the early stages.

You'll hear it clicking before it goes.

DS install write-up on Project-JK. For 1310 but same process for others.

Thanks! I'll give it a try, it might really suck without air impact wrench. Might be time to invest.

If you've lifted it's going to happen eventually.

Classic tell-tale grease spin off:


Cracked seal and trail dirt contaminated bearings:

Air wrench is helpful, especially for the pinion nut, but not necessary for the rest (can't get it into a lot of tight spaces).

Pay attention to the install process/instructions and in particular the torque for the pinion nut. Needs to be enough but you don't want to over do it and damage something there. Have a fun weekend! :yup:

Thanks! 130 ft/lbs of torque for the output shaft and 160 lb/lbs for pinion nut. I think I will need a bigger torque wrench.
