Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle type, ring gear size, stamping code, and shaft diameter before installation. This seal is listed for specific rear positions only, and many applications depend on axle configuration details such as Spicer 35, Spicer 44, or stamping code K. Confirm the bore and outside diameter match the housing and shaft requirements for your vehicle before pressing the seal into place.
