Axle Seal Replacement Question
I blew an axle seal in my front D30 axle while on John Bull in Big Bear, CA. Leaking gear oil all over the place. I think I may have damaged it while installing my Aussie Locker.
Are axle seals covered under warranty? If yes, then will my installing a locker void that warranty?
How tough are they to replace? I know the axle will come out, but any special pullers needed? Any tricks? inner seal? Outer?
Thanks for suggestions....

I am looking at a 2nd set of fron axel sealed on my Rubi Unlimited.
Id bring it in and mention they are leaking.
Might be able to get them done under warrantee without mentioning the locker.

The seals are relatively easy to replace. They are covered under your factory 100k km warranty.
Problem is that they might refuse it since you have an after market locker and whoever reinstalled the shafts could of damaged the seals.
Usually takes me an afternoon and evening to do them with a friend on a driveway. Talking and breaking for beer and other mod ideas normally takes awhile so I imagine an actual shop could do it in a few hours.
