Hello

[j_2000_limited]

Hello My Name is Jack and I am lucky enough to have come into possession of a 2000 3rd Gen Limited 4wd.

I have been attempting to do some work on it given it has 175k on the odo but thankfully it was fairly well taken care of.

I have replaced the alternator, battery as well as all the fluids including the transfer case and rear diffs.

Unfortunately the other weekend while on trail (the first time it probably has seen it) I noticed a leak coming from my front and rear output shaft seals on my differential (thankfully not the 4wd actuator) and have successfully replaced the front as well as the companion flange seals but have been struggling to get the rear seal (part 9031141020) to fully seat. Any advice would be appreciated, I am purchasing another seal from the dealer and will attempt to shrink it by putting it in the freezer before my next install attempt; any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am excited to join the T4R community and look forward to meeting yall!/

(I think I replied to the new member info tab instead of here on accident, my apologies)

Maybe there's a Timmy the Toolman video on here...?

The issue you're having with the rear pinion seal not seating fully is almost certainly related to technique and the significant force required, combined with the need for absolute perpendicular alignment.
