RE Sye seal flange.

I want to know if I can put the seal flange from the RE hack n tap kit to seal my tcase, in an effort to remove the tail cone from it. Is this possible?

I have read like 10 different installs and I am really confused about how the hell this thing works. I am under the impression that This flange and seal are a tailcone eliminator of sorts and that it can work, but I read an old install from back in like 2000 and someone said that the cv flange actually goes inside the seal.

Please chime in with your thoughts. I want to install this flange and seal while i am searching for a front DS and before I do the entire SYE kit. Thank you

Have you checked this link? http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/sye.html

that doesn't give me an answer unfortunately. I had already read that one

In that link, did you check the linkin the top left corner un "Jeep" that says "RE", there is further info there?

still not talking about the kit i am talking about.
i am talking about the pre 96 kit

called RE and the answer is it will leak unless u put the whole kit on. the cv flange needs to be butted up against the bearing seal.

a hack-n-tap seal will only work with a fixed yoke or flange. I think your talking about removing the tailhousing that the slip yoke slides into and puting a shorter tailhousing while still keeping your slipyoke?
on the H&T sye's they mount the seal flange right after the rear main output bearing of the t-case. that last little housing with three bolts that the slip yoke slides into is just that, the slip yoke housing. So if I think what your asking is can one use the seal from the H&T and still use a slip yoke... the answer is no.

yes what i was asking was if I could use the three bolt flange from RE with the seal in it, to seal the tcase output shaft after looking at pictures and talking to the guys at RE I understand this can not be done, because the cv flange that connects to the driveshaft, needs to be right up against the seal. or if one were to use a fixed yoke that would also be cut to fiy right up against the seal.
