XJ Dana 44 on an '84 Cj7 leaking past the hub . . .

[ParsonMac]

I've got an '84 Cj7 with a rear Dana 44 from a 87 Cherokee XJ w/disks and and ARB locker. I noticed diff fluid dripping from the brake dust cover and an accumulation of it in the inside of the rim. I assume it's a seal? Where is it located and how difficult are these to replace? How is the axle secured to the locker (if at all) or is it secured via the retainer on the hub end? Thanks in advance! :shades:

You unbolt the bearing assembly from the end of the axle and axleshaft will slide out. There is no need to remove the diff cover.
