Default Help! Front pinion seal diameter????

Hi!

Does anyone know the inner and outer diameter of the front pinion seal on a JK Rubicon 2008?

I´ve changed the driveshaft´s and now I have a leak from my front pinion

Is it the same seal measurements for the seal in front as in rear axle?

changing out your drive shaft alone shouldn't cause your pinion seals to leak. now, if the new yokes you installed weren't installed properly and are a little loose, that will cause a leak as will a drive shaft that is vibrating.

Thanks guys,

I torqued the hell out of them

But as I saw the leak from the pinion in the front dif I also saw that there was a little tiny tear in the rubber ring/seal that goes around the yoke (so my guess is that that´s what´s causing the leak).

Is it enough just to replace the rubber seal or do I have to change anything else?

What´s the inner and outer diameter of that rubber seal?
There is no seal to be found in Sweden so I have a bit of a problem
