mikey7134 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Came to change my seals today. Rear one was fine, and looked the same as the replacement i've got, and changed it fine with the inner lip flush with the casing so it doesn't get crushed the pinion flange bracket-y doo-dah. When i came to do the front, i assumed it would be the same, but the seal has a metal 'washer' on top the seal, and doesnt have the raised inner lip (it may have under the metal washer, but couldn't get it out). Is this a different style seal that it could have been replaced with in the past? Or is it supposed to be like this? Ill try get a picture up.

Off Road Toad Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That's the old style leather seal, very good seals but cheaper to replace with the modern rubbery type. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The metal 'washer' is part of the seal by the way and could be a piggy to remove, just get medieval with it and it'll soon yield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
