Leaky Pinion Seal

[Joel]

So the pinion seal on my TJ D30 has a slow leak. I picked up a new seal but for the life of me can't find a new pinion nut locally. Anyone know where I can get one besides the stealership? Napa, Advance, and Autozone don't carry them. Thanks in advance!

Shouldn't be to high at a dealership, you can reuse the nut, you'll most likely need to re-indent it where it was before anyhow...

Hugh,
There is no indent on a D30 nut(it is not like a toy, etc.).

If you need one Joel let me know and I can get you one.

Try a 4x4 Shop. I got my rear nut from $ wheel parts wholesale, and my front dana 30 nut from Tarheel 4wd. Both located in Charlotte. They may not stock them but they can get them for you. $ wheel parts wholesale (even though I do not like them very much) can ship things to your house. I am sure the guys at Tarheel 4 wheel drive would do that for you to if you called them. Tarheel is more knowledgable about Jeeps then 4 wheel parts wholesale. Here is the contact information for both.
