[FWDLK] REAR AXLES---REBUILD EXPERIENCE

[Ed Eckerson <eddee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

 

I am rebuilding my entire rear end (so to speak) on my 59 Sport Fury.

 

I had heard a while back that one should NOT replace the INNER grease seal??????????

This was because the wheel bearing would get more 'splash' from the rear gears without it, and the outer seal prevents the oil from escaping.

Supposedly the bearing only gets marginal lubrication with the inner seal in place.

 

ANY EXPERIENCE OR COMMENTS????

 

Thank you
