Installation notes and tips
Verify the axle housing bore, shaft diameter, and seal dimensions before installation. National 3747 measures 1.703 inches on the shaft side, 3.090 inches outside diameter, and 0.500 inches wide, so matching the seal to the axle specification is important for proper seating. Confirm rear-position fitment and ring gear notes for Chevrolet and GMC applications before assembly.
