Yes so I just had the both axle shafts out so that's gonna be pretty straightforward since I just took them all out put it back together used all kinds of anti-seize. I called my local jeep dealership they wanted like 700 bucks, my local four wheel parts store was just under $400.
It just really pains me to spend $400 to install some $20 parts, so I was hoping that somebody would have some experience with this
Just wondering if there's anybody out there that has personally done or if you took them to a shop what the cost was for the replacement and whether or not you to do a Locker instead of just replacing the axle seals?
I did mine a couple months ago. It was only about a 2 hour job. It's not that bad.
So when you say it only took two hours was that two hours to do the carrier removal and then remove the inner seals reinstall the seals and reinstall the carrier?
Because when I did my axles and replace the U joints it was probably an hour to get each one removed since they've never been taken out before and I would guess that now I could probably take them both out in half hour 45 minutes from back in within 45 minutes so that would leave me about 30 minutes just to do the carrier and seals?
How hard was it to measure the backlash, and did you already have a tool in the arsenal or did you have to go out and get one

I found two guides in each axle tube, and one of those was shoved through the the oil seal causing the leak. .
