EDIT : read whole thread . I have modified and made it work as it should .
overall : poor
the threaded shaft for the whole length of the tool is to short to go from tube to tube in the diff housing on a dana 60 . I had to use a hunk of 1" bar stock and put it between the carrier bearing seat and this gave me the length it needed .
next was the o.e.m. style / most common replacement seals / and the ones Yukon sells you in there master install kit don't fit the cup of the tool to hold it and press it in place .
the main threaded shaft with a welded on flat/tapered cup to sit on the other side of seal installing has no way to hold it from spinning when your trying to tighten the nut and press in the seal . and I lubed the threads good . so if you wana hold it with vise grips and booger up the threads on your brand new tool go for it . should of just run a second nut down to the bottom and welded it on at the same time your weldng on the bottom seat/cup .
over all for the price range there going for 109.99 - 129.99 these are a waste of time . I would rather wait for a extra hand and do the old long bar / socket / hammer install.
now with all this said if they wana work on the design and let me test a new design I am all for it . the idea behind this tool is super and could be 1 hell of a time saver and less chance of screwing up a seal or 2 or 3 like I did on this dam job that should of been super easy .
going to call them Thursday and talk with them . at this point I want my money back .
and if your going to design a tool AND sell the part it install's you would think they should fit together
fyi my Yukon carrier bearing puller tool is SUPER
. . . . . . . I was hoping for the same again but didn't get it .
reg style seal left side / o.e.m. dana style seal right . the o.e.m. seal is direct from a Yukon master install kit for a dana 60-61 front .
there 2 ended adaptor pusher just fit inside the reg style seal .
there 2 ended adaptor pusher just barley almost wobbles on correct seal . 1 tiny off twitch and she going sideways and trashing a seal . and its only on the molded rubber web that in there .
1" block with little thread left on tool to push seal in and keep the 2 ended adaptor pusher centered on thread .
out to the end and flush . next pic shows more .
then this gap before its even pushing up against any part of the housing .
then if I slide it over to show were it should be seated to be solid for pushing duty .
this bottom end is were a second nut should be welded on for the second wrench to keep the whole shaft / cone from spinning under pressure of install.
a lot of gap could be taken up with a longer / taller adaptor body so you don't have to do longer threaded shaft for the length .
and in your pics on line this body does look like it originally was longer .
