Does anyone in the Northern Colorado area have a front axle seal installer tool that they would be willing to rent out to a fellow XJ owner?? I am doing the front inner axle seal on the passenger side located on inside of the central axle disconnect (CAD) housing. This seal is a royal PITA to do with DIY tools. I have already gone through 3 seals and have been unable to get the seal to seat straight. I figured I'd ask before I pulled the trigger on purchasing the tool. I live in the Fort Collins area. Let me know. Thanks guys!!

The tool I'm seeking looks like this, minus the 4 seals and gasket: (http://quad4x4.com/qk4624.html)

A length of 2" tube will do one side, and I made an installer similar to that with big washers and some threaded rod.
 
I am doing this exact project right now... probably finish it up tonight.

I plan to just make a tool with some all thread and some big washers to pull the seal into place.

Fred, do you have a pic of what you made?

Fraid not. I think it turned into something else some time ago. :)
