Dana 300 seals
How hard is it to rebuild a dana 300? I would like to replace the seals to
stop it from leaking while I have it out. Can this be done under a shade tree with normal tools? Where is the best place to get the rebuild parts? -- _____________________ HomeBrewer 76-81-85CJ7 http://85cj7.blogspot.com/ All in one Jeep |

A bearing press is required. I put the 4:1 in my 300 (which included a
re-build). Not too bad, they are relatively simple. Where does it leak? May be just input/output seal. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.

The only issue is those big nuts on the yokes. They are a real pain to
get off and back on tight. I didn't want the bother, so I just took my dana 300 to the shop and for $40.00 I think it was, they changed both the input and output seals including parts. I had a hard time finding the shift fork seals at dealers and tranny shops until I just asked the local parts store and he got them in a couple days. Oh, mine was working ok so I didn't need to open anything. It is amazing how nice it shifts with clean greased linkages.

I have access to a press, I can't tell for sure where it's leaking, but I
think its in the front, near the front drive shaft. -- _____________________ HomeBrewer 76-81-85CJ7 http://85cj7.blogspot.com/ All in one Jeep "JimG" > wrote in message ... >A bearing press is required.

LOL!
That is the rear view, I always hose out the front to keep the shifter clear of mud.
