bernie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Back in jan 2011 , i replaced rear discs, oil seals, brake pads on my 110 1994 , now the offside has decided to dump axle oil all over the offside break disc, would i persume that the oil seal has gone already, or would it be worse.

JJB Serenity Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 What make parts did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Discs were sh*tpart but i thought as they have no moving parts that would be ok. Not sure of seals although they didnt seem very tight when putting them in, Dont think they were the unmentionable but could of been seeing what has happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hub seals can go if the stub axle land on which they run is worn. A blocked axle breather can also cause a blowout through the hub seal, although in my experience it's usually the diff pinion seal that fails first in that instance.

Litch Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Were the stub-axles in good condition or was there a groove where the seal runs, you would be surprised how many times a seal is replaced with no regard for the surface it is meant to be sealing against? A blocked breather is also very likely and is always the first place to check. Don't forget that if oil has contaminated the pads then they should really be replaced.

dantd5 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Have you over filled the once shot grease or the axle oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
