Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal outside diameter, bore diameter, and width against the original part before installation. Confirm axle type, position, and serial or chassis break points listed for your Ford F-100 or Ford F-150, since the correct seal depends on the exact rear axle configuration. Inspect the sealing surface and bearing area for wear, scoring, or contamination before fitting the new seal.
