Technical Details and Material Specifications
The 6808N differential pinion seal features a polyacrylate elastomer construction, which offers excellent resistance to gear oils and high temperatures commonly found in automotive differentials. The seal’s precise inside diameter of 1.875 inches ensures a secure fit on shafts, while the 3.165-inch outside diameter matches the housing bore for effective sealing. The 0.562-inch thickness provides durability and maintains proper sealing pressure. Additionally, the Redicoat treatment enhances corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the seal in harsh operating environments.

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the National 6808N differential pinion seal, ensure the housing bore and shaft surfaces are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the housing bore without damaging the sealing lip. Verify the seal orientation matches the original installation to maintain proper oil retention. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with gear oil before installation to reduce initial wear. Check for proper fitment on the shaft diameter of 1.875 inches to avoid leaks.
