Dana 60 seals and u-joint replacement

MtnHaul · Apr 19, 2020

Quick question here. What seals will I need to have on hand when disassembling a D60 to access the axle u-joints? I've never done this repair and I don't have a parts runner so I really need to have everything before I start. Also gonna' replace lower bearing on the knuckles and grease the wheel bearings--anything else I should look at while I'm in there?

Edit: Should've mentioned the axle was a '87 or '88 kingpin out of a DRW

Not a super easy question to answer because of the little changes through the years. But this resource has all the answers.

I did a ujoint last year and managed without buying any parts other than the ujoint. Spindle has to come off, but knuckle does not.

Get a hub/wheel seal at a minimum if you plan to fully clean and repack the wheel bearings.

spindle kits will have what you need+wheel seals and spicer life series joints

There are axle seals at the pumpkin that can be changed. You have to pull the gear carrier ( I think that is what it's called) to access them. The hardest part is putting the carrier back in. I had to build a case spreader and it was still a very tight fit.
