Axle seals

[ngwagon]

Nice find mate.. I have done a few over the years and have the Haynes manual as well.. Wy 9 year old daughter wanted to help and learn..

Well it still leaks just half the amount it did before the new seal.. its just on the right rear.. The diff breather is not blocked.. it has new bearings on both axles.. could it be just too much oil in the diff and if so how much oil do they need?

[bakerboy]

where exactly is it leaking from? did you use gasket glue like i recomended?

[ngwagon]

Its coming out of the little hole in the axle where the studs are joined on to.. if that make sense? Yes i did use the glue like in your pics..

[bakerboy]

i know the hole your talking about, is it oil or grease?

[ngwagon]

thick black ish oil.. i will get a pic in a min

[ngwagon]

could be grease? here are the pics and yer i know im missing a wheel nut because the tire joit stuffed the thread on 1 but waiting for a new 1 from the tire joint soon...

Hows the bearings looking?

[ngwagon]

Yer they were all good.. Was thinking before that it could be the grease we packed them with had melted away? Could that be right ? There is no winding noise or anything coming from there..

did you end up sorting it out? I have a weird problem with my front diff, I wound it right out the other day (Up to 80km/hr) and it spat diff oil out from somewhere, need to get under and have a good gawk. I had more pressing probs though in the form of a bent tailshaft, fixed that though, nice new unis n stuff. Anyway, could it be if I had a blocked breather the sheer pressure pushed oil out of places it shouldn't go? I've never wound it out that far in 4H since I bought her 20,000kms ago. Does anyone have a bit of a rough guide on replacing seals for the pumpkin itself, not the axles?

ive got my front diff cover off atm, ill get some pics for you

also the oil leaking out of that hole would indicate a blocked breather most times
