All,
continuing my rear axle project and I'm at another stopping point. I pulled the carrier in the diff housing, and there were no oil seals...hence why my axle tubes were filled with diff oil.
For the life of me, I cannot find the correct oil seals for the inside of the diff housing. Everywhere I go, even NAPA, they give me an oil seal that is too small. Even though it says in ER oil seal.
The wrong part is National 481837
I have a 76 CJ5, but it has a Dana 44 rear. We looked up other years and still not coming up with the right size. Has anyone replaced these seals that might have a part number?
Also, when I pulled my axles, there was an oil seal pressed in about 4 inches into the tube, so butting up against the bearing retainer. The part I listed is the same seal as what was in the tube, but I don't think this is the right application. Everything I've seen, including my FSM, shows oil seals on the inside of the diff housing.
I need help!
