You don't need to pull the pig. BUT you need a new seal. They should have a press fit so that one is bad.

so how do i get in there to put the seal on?? doesnt look like much room.

BTW: badass explorer you got there.. hopefully mine will be something like that soon. i just picked my 89' BII up about a week ago and im wanting to make it a trail truck.

Easiest way it to use a seal driver and a LONG handle to go through the knuckle. If you can't get in on it that way, then yes your going to pull the pig and do it on the bench. Which means pulling the passenger side as well.

damn that eould suck if i had to do it that way..

Used to have a 88 bII . It was one heluva useful AND fun truck.

yeah, theyll go anywhere, but the drivetrain sucks. the D28 ttb axles break under light wheeling. its in need of a solid axle swap up front and a 9inch out back..

I took mine offroad a lot..but never muddin. It was great for getting into tight places like a CJ ...but more practical. (I carried a 600 pound cast iorn stove in the back of mine once)
