Yes, there is an oil seal where the CV shaft enters the transaxle housing. It is easy to damage it when replacing the shaft, and replacement is usually recommended, although not always necessary.
ok , a few questions for you , are you doing the work ? if you have the tools ? and the skills to do it ? you may want to go buy a repair manual for 20.00 its nothing compaired to the 100.00 you'll spend on the shaft , and if you do it you'll save 200.00 in labor. and you have a book forever
You should get a helper to "wiggle" the shaft where it goes into the transmission, while you apply force to seat it. The retaining clip will not seat unless the axil is "wiggled"... IT WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT IN, MUST MOVE IT AROUND A BIT. hope this will fixya!
yes use pry bars that you can squeeze in there. if you can position a bar from opposite side and use 2lbs or hammer to hit. spring clip on spline shaft has to be bumped pretty sharply to get it out of grove, some are very stubborn. hit the old shaft and stay away from hub or you may damage hub.
As your Jeep has four wheel drive, I don't understand what you mean by a "4wheeler axle", What was the difference between the one you had and the one you installed? If you installed it and it is working, I don't see how it could cause the one on the opposite side to fail. Though I'd need a better understanding of what you actually have done, my present answer to your question is no, and likely the other side needed to be replaced as well, but you did not notice.
take the wheel off , unbolt caliper and sling it out of the way with a bungi cord, take off the rotor, then you have too take the pumpkin cover off the axel diff in the front (drain fluid first) easy way to do that take out bottom and side bolts out then leave top 1 or 2 in but finger loose. pry cover off with a sturdy scrapper from side allowing fluid to leak out from bottom of cover. when fluid is done comeing out then take off cover. to take the axel out to replace the seal you have to push the axel inwards to remove the C- CLIP on the end of the axel shaft that slides into the inside of the pinion gear (use a extending magnet) keeps gear oil on your hands and from dropping it into the pumpkin housing. then all you have to do is slide the axel shaft out. then replace the seal .
