dana 60 seal replacement

[Jeepbonehead]

i want to replace all the seals in my axles (the rears are leaky) to replace the inner axle seals i know i have to remove the carrier but can i just put it back in and replace the caps and bolts and torque to spec or do i need to do any shimming?

replace the shims exactly how they came out.

I am doing this EXACT thing right now, except with my front 44. Lucky for me, my front had no shims .

there should be no shims to worry bout.... unless your replacing the carrier bearings.
mark the caps... pull the carrier...replace seals...torque it back together... and walllllllaaaaa

thats odd

i would check the backlash and carrier preload anyway (easy to do)
but you dont need to take the shims out anyway to do seals

and your rear 60 shouldnt have inner seals

or do gears at the same time
