Planned on some light maintenance on the jeep today......boy was I wrong. Pulled it in the shop to fix some lights,while it was sitting I noticed a drip on the floor under it and Saturday I thought I had caught a wiff of gear oil once or twice. Slid under it and found a seal leaking on the front shaft on the transfer case. The front drive shaft on my CJ with a automatic has a Double Cardon u-joint at the t-case so the belly pan had to be dropped to get the shaft out so I could get to the seal. Pulled the shaft and rusty water came out of one bearing cup so installed two spicer u-joints. Got the seal out.....no seal nowhere......the only parts store I deal with couldn't get one till Friday. Started digging around in my motorcycle parts,got the mic out did a little measuring and (cifering as my Grandpop would put it) and found a transmission output shaft seal for a 2001 HD Softail that worked like it was made for it.
Sorry on pics, I get in there and hammer away at stuff till it's done,never thinking about pics
