Special tools for Jeep Axles
When you work with front and rear axles from
the old flatfenders the special tools once made for them are of course
very good to have. Today they are almost impossible to find, so if you
have need for them you will have to make them yourself.
On the upper two pictures you can see the pinion installing tool for the
front and rear axles on the CJ-jeeps. This is an original tool I have
found in Denmark around fifteen years ago.
Two very handy tools for jeepaxles.
With the tool to the left you force the gear housing to open. It makes
it easier to lift out the differential gear. This tool was originally
made for old Volvo cars. (the Amazon and Volvo 140) The rear axle on
these cars is almost of the
same type as the front axle on the Jeep. The tool to the right is for installing
the inner oil seals in the front and rear axles. This tool I have copied
from an old Jeep manual.
To the left is another very handy tool copied
from an old Mecanics Manual. It is used for installing king pin bearings
in the front axle. Some of the bearing pullers once used at old Volvo
cars are usable at jeep differintial gears.
A small hydraulik press helps you to install the new bearings.
To the left an old Volvo bearing-puller.
To the right checking differential gear backlash.
