ThreePointFive Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I am having difficulty identifying the correct pinion seal for my rear diff. Axle is off a P reg Disco V8, had a 3-bolt rear flange with the donut on. I've swapped for a 4-bolt flange (STC4858) so bear that in mind... I had mudshield LR017552 already, which should fit seal FTC5258. Having ordered that seal, it was far too small so I'm a bit confused as it's matched to that mudshield. Should a 1996 Disco have a different seal/mudshield to the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1231/25878/26168/1956 click on item number to get the part number 4 bolt flanges shown in https://lr.ru/search/type/catalog/query/STC3722 with mudshield, seal & nut. 3 bolt https://lr.ru/search/type/catalog/query/STC3723 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Thanks Ralph but therein lies the problem; I can buy it as a kit but I can't find the correct part numbers for just the seal and mudshield. I don't want to buy another flange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Have a look at the seal, it will have the size written on it, then just buy it from anywhere you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonimouse Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 small as in diameter or thickness. The new type flange, that does away with the spacer, uses a very different seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Both, mostly diameter though. In the end I ordered FRC8220 which was very different from the original and much thicker, but the casing is cut deep enough to accept it. It's not "right" because the mudshield FRC8154 is a completely different design and I don't think will do much of a job, but I am content to run it as-is for now unless there is an obvious bad reason for fitting a thicker seal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
