Mat you are the man I know you made this video 8 years ago I just got into jeeps I just bought a 1991 jeep YJ and I did the single shaft swap and let me tell you auto zone does not know there seals and I’m sure with all the help of your subscribers you made it possible for regular people like me to do my own repairs.
Also, I used to have one of those cable things for the 2 piece and had lots of problems with it. (I still have it in the shop). Not to mention the fork is the weak link and the 2 piece shaft as well. + it would cost less and be stronger just to do the conversion... just my thoughts...
Just swapped axles in my 87 xj renix out of a 95 xj. I went through 5 seals before I figured out how to do it, step (1) buy seal from oreillys part number 473426. Step (2) sand the axle tube a bit where the seal will go. Step (3) put seal in freezer for one hour. Step (4) use seal driver to hammer in seal. The Tolerances are very tight the first time I tried the seal buckled.
Just curious if I fully locked my 92 YJs front axle with a spool, with the vacuum disconnect fully operational, would it be rough steering around corners when the axle disconnected on one side?
Don't know if you would respond but... I got a tj axle that, I don't think was oversized, for my 88 wrangler and am having a hard time finding the right passenger side inner seal. Any advice?
So you can just reinstall the carrier while using the same orientation of caps and bolts? You don't have to worry about measuring backlash and such? New to this stuff and really don't wanna toast my axle. Thanks for the videos really enjoy all the info, thanks!
Hi, I have a jeep Cherokee 89 XJ and I also want to change both axle's for one, but I also want to know what year axle will fit, and what car as well will fit? -Thanks a lot.
What's the part number for just the seal? Have a manufacture part number? Did you put an outer seal in? The old warn kits came with an outer seal to prevent stuff from sitting in the cad housing after the swap.
Im doing this on my YJ, wouldn't the axle seal be the same as a XJ? seeing as you are taking the one piece axle from it? I can call Rustys but my logic says its gotta be the same as the Cherokee it came from.
Hi Mat. One thing. When one does the axle swap. The large axle always feels locked.bad on turns. Not good on the street. I broke mine AGAIN. At the U Joint area. I have a Spartan locker Help. I use my jeep On the street 75 % of the time. and I need help
I broke my drivers side and got a deal for both axles so i'm doing this. I have everything ready to go back in but, where you put the seal in at the diff there is no groove for the seal to go in and stop. Do you just put it in flush and it will stay?
Hey Mat, Quick question. I've got the vacuum-disconnect Dana 30 on my '90 XJ and I know this is a great modification for off-roading but what about for a daily driver as I use mine for both? Thanks for all of the vids and stuff you've got on your channel.
Can you keep the stock 1990 jeep xj shaft on the driver side and upgrade to the tj shaft on the passenger side? Do they both have to be the 5/760x ujoint?
It is very difficult and requires a lot of specialty tools, probably about $500+ worth. I would leave it too the pros unless you have someone with you who knows what they are doing and can teach you. I dont feel like it is something I can cover in a video because there are just too many things to go over and too many variables.
Well, it wouldn't really work like an open diff. With it welded and the fork disconnected the front driver side would still be engaged full time, meaning you would be driving around in three wheel drive, all 3 wheels locked (supposing you had a locker in the rear). That would be worse than an open front diff as the front passenger wouldn't pull at all and the front driver would be very stressed... cont...
Great vid. I heard you can weld your front diff when using the two peaice though. Fully locked when in 4wd, and open when in 2wd. Pretty awesome if that's how it works.
Anybody no how long the one piece axle should be i got a pile of axles from jeeps over the years I got 2 that are likely it but there about 3/4" different in links
is the seal you buy from rusty's special made to fit in the axle tube. I have a 1993 wrangler and got a Cherokee axle. every parts store I go to sales me a seal that will fit the driver side but is not fitting In the passenger side. I ordered a kit from rustys and am just waiting on it.....
I agree with the stress side when in 4x, don't want to wreck my diff to find out all I'm gonna do is twist axles... But in 2wd-welded should be basically open, the pass. Side center axle piece would be rotating backwards(in relation to wheels) and drivers would be turning the whole carrier, hence always Spinning the driveshaft, just like ur convertion is going to
Yeah, weld the spiders, with the the delete kit (pull cable for the shift fork) I'd be able to select between turning the drivers side frt or both, hard locked. Its a poor man's frt locker, don't know anyone who has done it, would love some feedback
I just did my 88 xj. I just put a stock driver side seal on the pass side where the orig seal goes outboard of the CAD box. Simple and didn't have to pull carrier. Haven't drove it yet but don't see why it won't work.
so just the seal that comes with the kit will keep the passenger side from leaking? shit just the fact the the oil seal will be easier to change is worth the swap! plus the added strength? win win. thanks a million!
So by changing that 2 piece axle with a 1 piece you have made it a full time 4x4 ? What's the benefit ? Now the front differential will be full time 4x4 and when turning it's going to skip or break the differential gears ??? I'm sure that's why jeep install the vacuum selection motor . When it in 4x4 and when it's not ! Especially on the road or highway... Explain. Unless your jeep is off road only and not on the highway or hard roads !
No. The transfer case selects 4 wheel drive, not the differential. The only thing a 3 piece shaft does it to let the shafts sit still while moving saving a bit on fuel economy. It's not too different than a lockout hub on a big truck.
I just want let y'all know you suck, make me spend money. Seriously though, I really appreciate you guys do these vids. Just replaced the axle shafts in my '95 YJ with TJ shafts. Keep up the good work!
@@bleepinjeep Hey Matt, heading to the pull-a-part yard this week. Do the bigger u joints fit through most dana 30 knuckles? I don't have a good way of boring it out if not... I've heard some people running into a similar issue, any idea? Thanks!
He has it listed in the description. It’s a Napa part #. I just ordered it from Napa and upon asking for info on that seal listed they told me it comes up for a Jeep from the 70’s. Hopefully it’s the right one.
If you can add this to the post. I called east coast gear supply and the seal is specific and can't be found in any stock jeep axle. Below are the part numbers you can get from oreilly, the 471 is what you need 471763 11343 11878
james james Also as a note the 471763 the rubber keeps getting chewed up, going to try the 11343 part number next. Will update on the results, also checking for any gnashes on the shaft that is cutting the seal....
Um, I've got a 94 with the stock Dana 30. And the two piece axle, sooooo. Now what? And, ahhh, those bearing caps are marked with Y's at the factory. Just so ya know. You know, for next time.

Cool meeting you and Colt at the wrecker games! Had a blast!
Mat you are the man I know you made this video 8 years ago I just got into jeeps I just bought a 1991 jeep YJ and I did the single shaft swap and let me tell you auto zone does not know there seals and I’m sure with all the help of your subscribers you made it possible for regular people like me to do my own repairs.
YJ had the 2 piece and CAD system until the end of their run in '95.
Go to NAPA and get oil seal 11800, It does look a little different but it's the right size.
Also, I used to have one of those cable things for the 2 piece and had lots of problems with it. (I still have it in the shop). Not to mention the fork is the weak link and the 2 piece shaft as well. + it would cost less and be stronger just to do the conversion... just my thoughts...

The Tolerances are very tight the first time I tried the seal buckled.
Great vid I have access to very large sockets and washers. By using extensions as you did thru axle tube to push seal was nice.
What is the Part Number for the Seal that you used? I bought the Yukon kit and non of the seals are even close to fitting in my housing.
were is the part number for the seal
Just curious if I fully locked my 92 YJs front axle with a spool, with the vacuum disconnect fully operational, would it be rough steering around corners when the axle disconnected on one side?
This is a good moment to install a Spartan Dandahermit
Do you know how to install gears? I heard it was REALLY complicated and shouldn't be attempted at home. True or just a way to make money?
How you take out the part that is on the inside?
Don't know if you would respond but... I got a tj axle that, I don't think was oversized, for my 88 wrangler and am having a hard time finding the right passenger side inner seal. Any advice?
So you can just reinstall the carrier while using the same orientation of caps and bolts? You don't have to worry about measuring backlash and such? New to this stuff and really don't wanna toast my axle. Thanks for the videos really enjoy all the info, thanks!
Ya, as long as you didn't change anything.
i can't find the kit with the link you posted i tried typing that part # you posted from rustys and can't find it. . help please .
Hi, I have a jeep Cherokee 89 XJ and I also want to change both axle's for one, but I also want to know what year axle will fit, and what car as well will fit?
-Thanks a lot.
What's the part number for just the seal? Have a manufacture part number?
Did you put an outer seal in? The old warn kits came with an outer seal to prevent stuff from sitting in the cad housing after the swap.
i wonder if the 36mm socket youd need for the axle nut would be the perfect size to fit that diff seal? never tried it always just use a block of wood
Im doing this on my YJ, wouldn't the axle seal be the same as a XJ? seeing as you are taking the one piece axle from it? I can call Rustys but my logic says its gotta be the same as the Cherokee it came from.
Hi Mat. One thing. When one does the axle swap. The large axle always feels locked.bad on turns. Not good on the street. I broke mine AGAIN. At the U Joint area. I have a Spartan locker

not until it comes out...
Hey Mat, Quick question. I've got the vacuum-disconnect Dana 30 on my '90 XJ and I know this is a great modification for off-roading but what about for a daily driver as I use mine for both? Thanks for all of the vids and stuff you've got on your channel.
Matt did you remove the outer seal and bearing on the passenger side or leave it in there?
Do they still make the block off kit? I looked but can’t find it.
I need some information... I have a 1993 Jeep yj with 3:07 feared Dana axles. How hard is it to rebuild them?
Called orielly auto parts and they said the 471763 didnt show up in they're system
Will the 11343 work? or do i need to hunt down the 471763 seal?
Can you keep the stock 1990 jeep xj shaft on the driver side and upgrade to the tj shaft on the passenger side? Do they both have to be the 5/760x ujoint?
It is very difficult and requires a lot of specialty tools, probably about $500+ worth. I would leave it too the pros unless you have someone with you who knows what they are doing and can teach you. I dont feel like it is something I can cover in a video because there are just too many things to go over and too many variables.
Try putting the seal in the freezer for a few hours before, this will shrink the seal so that will slide in easier.
Do you know where I can get u-joint axles for my wj Dana 30? Is there an axle in another year jeep that would work?
So what is the part number for a seal for a 1994 yj axle seal ? After I switch to one piece bc the driver side is too big
when putting outer tube seals in do you have to grind and remove the old tabs from the axles to install outer tube seals
Well, it wouldn't really work like an open diff. With it welded and the fork disconnected the front driver side would still be engaged full time, meaning you would be driving around in three wheel drive, all 3 wheels locked (supposing you had a locker in the rear). That would be worse than an open front diff as the front passenger wouldn't pull at all and the front driver would be very stressed... cont...
you mentioned that the u joint is bigger , so can i also change theleft side in my yj
yup, it fits really tight!
Do you have any videos on replacing inner/outer axle seals and bearings?
What's the mpg affect of the mod?
Im not seeing the part number for the seal. Seems like the two ive tried have been to big
Where is the part number for the axle seal kit
Great vid. I heard you can weld your front diff when using the two peaice though. Fully locked when in 4wd, and open when in 2wd. Pretty awesome if that's how it works.
i know it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Ralph Aron Flixportal =)
@Terry Esteban thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
@Ralph Aron Happy to help :D
Anybody no how long the one piece axle should be i got a pile of axles from jeeps over the years I got 2 that are likely it but there about 3/4" different in links
you should note what jeep and year this was in
is the seal you buy from rusty's special made to fit in the axle tube. I have a 1993 wrangler and got a Cherokee axle. every parts store I go to sales me a seal that will fit the driver side but is not fitting In the passenger side. I ordered a kit from rustys and am just waiting on it.....
I had the same problem, did you ever find a fix?
There were two different sized axle tubes
You have to go to the dealer there both different sizes.
That T shirt girl is such a cutie! Oh and good vid bro!
welding what? Ive never seen anyone weld the shafts together
I agree with the stress side when in 4x, don't want to wreck my diff to find out all I'm gonna do is twist axles... But in 2wd-welded should be basically open, the pass. Side center axle piece would be rotating backwards(in relation to wheels) and drivers would be turning the whole carrier, hence always Spinning the driveshaft, just like ur convertion is going to

grate video it helped me out a lot with mine
Would this work on a yj too?
I just did my 88 xj. I just put a stock driver side seal on the pass side where the orig seal goes outboard of the CAD box. Simple and didn't have to pull carrier. Haven't drove it yet but don't see why it won't work.
Did it work?
for real....did it work?
Aren’t they different size diameter seals?
@@WiSeR187 i don't remember, it's been working for about 100k miles so far
no, I couldnt find that, you might try calling Rusty's
yes, the axles are the same
So can you use the driver side axle from a 95+ cherokee to get the bigger ujoints on driverside?
driver and passenger yes
so just the seal that comes with the kit will keep the passenger side from leaking? shit just the fact the the oil seal will be easier to change is worth the swap! plus the added strength? win win. thanks a million!
is this the same for CJ-5?
I used a bunch of extensions and the socket for the axle nut to tap the new seal in
Can it work on a 1993 jeep wrangler yj??
Is the single axle 29.05” in length?
So by changing that 2 piece axle with a 1 piece you have made it a full time 4x4 ? What's the benefit ?
Now the front differential will be full time 4x4 and when turning it's going to skip or break the differential gears ???
I'm sure that's why jeep install the vacuum selection motor . When it in 4x4 and when it's not ! Especially on the road or highway...
Explain.
Unless your jeep is off road only and not on the highway or hard roads !
No. The transfer case selects 4 wheel drive, not the differential. The only thing a 3 piece shaft does it to let the shafts sit still while moving saving a bit on fuel economy. It's not too different than a lockout hub on a big truck.
so if I have abs in my renix I need a abs shaft?
I just want let y'all know you suck, make me spend money. Seriously though, I really appreciate you guys do these vids. Just replaced the axle shafts in my '95 YJ with TJ shafts. Keep up the good work!
DOES THE CHEROKEE AXLE SHAFT WORK ON JEEP YJ'S TOO. LIKE A 1990 JEEP YJ
yes
@@bleepinjeep Hey Matt, heading to the pull-a-part yard this week. Do the bigger u joints fit through most dana 30 knuckles? I don't have a good way of boring it out if not... I've heard some people running into a similar issue, any idea? Thanks!
@@nobuddynoah they do fit, at least Ive never seen one NOT fit. Except for an RCV but thats different.
Awesome, thank you!
I had a 95 yj that had the larger u joints but was a 2 piece axle
Will cj5 1972 front dana30 axel and defferential fit xj 98 ?
Not sure, I assume so.
No, the cj dana 30 is narrower and the pumpkin is on the wrong side to work in a xj. The C and knuckles are completely different as well
so I'm removing the front axle shaft on my 87 cherokee xj. but for some reason the one on the passenger side won't come off. anyone know why.
i had the same problem, previous owner welded axle shaft collar on outer axle shaft....
What's the name of the delete kit
Any one know that seal part number
Awesome now I know how to replace my front seals!
Que número de reten es el que tiene del lado derecho
How do I remove the outer shaft mine won't come out trying to do 1 piece axle conversion
outer? it just pulls out
1:28
How about if I use a driver side housing seal for the passenger side will that work ?
Not on a disconnect axle, it won't be the right size
whats the benifit of changing from a 2 piece axle to a 1 piece?
No No my 1995 Wrangler YJ has the intermediate axle shaft with the disconnect system.Check your year references
Where is the video removing the shafts ?
I think that video was in 2010 called "How to remove and install your axle shaft in 13 minutes"
I think he means welding the spider gears.
Oops, not the backwards bit, that's what its doing when open...
XJ seals will not work. TJ and later model XJ axles housing are different than the YJ.
He has it listed in the description. It’s a Napa part #. I just ordered it from Napa and upon asking for info on that seal listed they told me it comes up for a Jeep from the 70’s. Hopefully it’s the right one.
My yj is a 92 with a two piece
Guessing my Dana 30 on my 2000 Cherokee has the one piece already then.
stronger and less shit to go wrong.
very good . dank :)
If you can add this to the post. I called east coast gear supply and the seal is specific and can't be found in any stock jeep axle. Below are the part numbers you can get from oreilly, the 471 is what you need
471763
11343
11878
james james Thanks! so what are the other part numbers for then? Ive added this to the description.
BleepinJeep these 471763, 11343 are the ones that will fit the dana 30 tubes on the 2 piece axle. The other part number is for the TJ's or newer XJ's
james james Also as a note the 471763 the rubber keeps getting chewed up, going to try the 11343 part number next. Will update on the results, also checking for any gnashes on the shaft that is cutting the seal....
Um, I've got a 94 with the stock Dana 30. And the two piece axle, sooooo. Now what?
And, ahhh, those bearing caps are marked with Y's at the factory. Just so ya know. You know, for next time.
now what what... upgrade it!
I got the two piece axle on my 97
Hah great intro
i've got a 95 YJ with the cad, and a vac delete kit, was thinking of welding, have you seen anyones who has? any adverse affects?
