Rear Diff Seal

(1/2) > >>

Guy90:
I've changed the rear diff seal on the 110 (Sailsbury axle). It is still weeping a little oil but also smelling of burning rubber.

The diff also feels very hot just around the when the seal would be and this heat is transferring to the prop UJs.

Any thoughts? The old seal was leather which had perished. the new seal is a rubber one.

Ollie:
Guy,
I was trying to change the same seal this morning. I removed the rear prop, took the nut and spacer off the rear axle, but how do you remove the flange?
BTW, the replacement seal I have is leather?

Cheers
Ollie.

Guy90:
I wonder if I have the right seal. They look the same. Do you know what part number yours was?

I got the flange off by carefully tapping around the edges until it came loose. It was a tight fit on the splines.

Guy...  I get this one for the pinion seal :

Guy90:
Tim,

that's the part number I got as well. Not leather like Ollie thou.

As unlikely as this may seem, I may have fitted it wrong I guess :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Nah!! Thinking about ti, that's just not possible :wink:
