Title: Leaking Rear Hubs Post by: RichardinNZ on November 17, 2016, 04:55:38 am When I installed the new transmission in the '58 I used new bearings, seals etc in the rear hubs (now with type 3 backing plates, drums and appropriate bearing retainers with the channel for any leaking oil).
I've not had any leaks at all. However, when I pulled the drums earlier this week one side started to leak. Is this usual with the drums off and the axles hanging down with no weight on them, or should I pull it apart and fit a new oil seal? Thanks Richard Title: Re: Leaking Rear Hubs Post by: Dougy Dee on November 17, 2016, 13:56:58 pm The o-ring under the seal race/spacer needs the torqued drum to compress and seal it.
I doubt the seal is the problem. Title: Re: Post by: RichardinNZ on November 17, 2016, 18:15:11 pm Many thanks. Hopefully all good then.
