• Leak-related maintenance on axle and driveline assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing in the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the axle assembly is properly lubricated after service and check for leaks during a road test.
