Change your differential fluid
This write-up describes the basics of changing your Jeep's differential fluid, whatever model it might be. I took photos as I worked on my Dana 30, however a Dana 44, Dana 35c axles, etc are all similar.
This isn't difficult and it's certainly not beyond the capabilities of most people. If you can change your oil, then changing your diff fluid is easily within reach.
This write-up is meant as a basic how-to article. Obviously, if you've swapped axles in your Jeep and you're running something other than stock, you probably know how to change your diff fluid. For everybody else, here goes. Domain: http://jeephorizons.com

Changing you Diff Fluid
First question asked is when do you need to change your axle fluid?
For a Jeep that sees alot of off-road use I recommend once a year. If your get water in your axle then I suggest right away. I tend to do it every 8 months but I check my fluid after every run to make sure no water got in them. So far I'&ve never gotten water in my axle but its better to be safe than sorry.
Why not just let the garage do it?
Last time I let the garage replace the fluid in my axles it costed me $90 a axle. I can do it for about $40 CDN for both of them. And its very very easy! Most supplies you should already have from doing oil changes. You change your own motor oil right? Another big bonus is you get to inspect your gears and even if you don'&t really know what your looking at its better than never looking at them. Heres a tips if your looking at them and you notice teeth missing its a bad thing..k Domain: http://www.jeeping.net

Dana 30 axle bearing replacement
Loud squeaking sound coming from the wheel area. Why to tell if it’s the bearing is to raise the jeep so the suspected wheel is off the ground then grab the tire at 12 and 6 and wiggle up and down. There shouldn’t be much play or wiggle. If there is then chances are you got a bad bearing. Domain: http://www.jeeping.net

Dana 30 Axle Seal Replacement
The left front axle on my '95 YJ had been leaking gear oil out the tube and onto the lower inner knuckle every time I drove it for the last several months. Later on, it was bad enough that it would run down the inner tire sidewall and leave a puddle on the ground when I parked on an off-camber spot. If gear oil can get out, then water & mud can also get in, which means bad things for the gears in the pumpkin. Here's a few pointers on changing the axle seal. Domain: http://www.jedi.com

Dana 30 to Warn's Hub Conversion Kit
After making the hard decision to build my Dana 30 rather than go through an expensive axle upgrade, I decided to purchase an ARB and the Warn Hub Conversion kit. I began the project by removing the front axle housing from my Jeep. This isn't necessary to install the Warn Hub Conversion kit, but I wanted to take the entire unit to my friend Jess's house to take advantage of his expertise and vast tool selection.
I drained the gear oil and proceeded to remove the hub/bearing units and the axle shafts. Then I removed the gears/carrier/ez-locker, making sure that the carrier bearing caps were marked so I could put them back on the same way they came off. Jess came by with his truck and we drove the housing to his garage where I spent some time cleaning it up. Jess wanted to do the ARB first, so we did that install. Once that was done, we began the hub conversion kit. Along with the hub kit, I also bought Warn's premium axle shafts, including the one piece shaft on the passenger Domain: http://www.4x4wire.com

Dana 30 Wheel Bearing Replacement
I don't know how long wheel bearings are supposed to last, but after 140K miles and larger tires, I am sure it is time to inspect them. Well, that is not so easy on a Jeep Cherokee's Dana 30 front axle. The front wheel bearings are incorporated into a one piece hub assembly which takes special tools to take apart. For most of us, this hub assembly is a non-serviceable part. I took the easy way out and purchased a new hub assembly from the local auto parts store.
Follow along as I show you easy it is to replace the wheel bearing assembly on a D30 front axle. Domain: http://www.off-road.com

Dana 30 with ARB Air Locker
I had been considering swapping out my Dana 30 and Dana 35c axles for some time. I really wanted to find a set of Dana 44's or maybe a Dana 44 for the front and a Ford 9" for the rear. However, the Pro-Comp Coil Conversion Suspension kit that I have did not offer any axle options other than the stock YJ Dana 30 and 35c. In fact, now that the kit has been out for almost a year, they still don't offer any other choice, and according to their tech department (at least at the time of this writing - May 2000), they aren't going to offer any other choice. So, I decided if I want to have a stronger front end, I was going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade my Dana 30. I had already replaced 2 of the non-serviceable hub/bearing units on it, and I wasn't really happy with the Detroit EZ-Locker when it came to tight turns on the trail. So I decided to put an ARB in there (already have one in the rear) and get the Warn Hub Conversion kit. Domain: http://www.4x4wire.com
