I had 5.13 installed in my Jeep and picked it up late Friday afternoon. This morning I go out to the garage and notice my front diff is bleeding. I inspect and it appears to be leaking from 2-3 bolts. How do I fix this? Out some seal on just the bolts or do I have to redo the whole seal?

By the way I love the gears.

Thanks!

 

is it leaking around the bolts at the diff cover? if so it is a easy fix. drain dif and clean cover off and housing and resilicone.....if coming from axle tubes then it is a seal issue and take back to shop for them to check....

 

It appears to be leaking at the bolts on the cover. Where the cover meets the diff appears fine.

 

that easy fix, just drain, clean the mounting surface, of cover and axle, sent you a pm...

 

Ok thanks..

or you can go this route, and use lubeloc gaskets...

 

Go with Lube Lockers. They make things so much simpler and work like a charm.

 

Do you mind telling us how much it cost to have the gears done? I'm curious because a lot of people are getting their gearing done. I've been given quotes of 14 hours labor. At that preice i should just buy new axels

 

14 hours to set gears???? That's a rip off!!!

 

Thats what i thought so i tried a few shops and they all quoted 14 hours. Front and rear so we're talking 28 hours of labor to swap my gears.
