Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note 1:
QT1131 is stepped so when you place pilot step in the end of the axle tube, it will center the pull rod which insures your seal will be installed square to the axle bore. Also See our QT1070 and QT1071 Seal Installers along with QT1048 Press Screw.
Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note 2:
Need tech help on how to perform inner axle seal replacement on your 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 or Ram 3500? Get my TSB4620 Inner Axle Seal Replacement Tech Service Bulletin, a fully illustrated, 8 page publication with 31 color photos that is specific to 1994-1999 models but is equally applicable to 2000-2002 model service procedures except for the seal tool numbers and brake rotor removal (2000-2002 brake rotors are not part of the hub assembly). Available in both print and instant download versions.
Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note 3:
All Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 4x4 trucks were built with Dana 60 CAD front axles. For the 2002 model year, early production trucks have the CAD Dana 60, but most later production axles do not have the CAD feature. The Dodge Dana 60 was replaced by a AAM 925 axle for the 2003 model year. |
