seal in the back of the rear spindle 1987. (Page 2/2) 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 17, 01:06 PM quote Originally posted by Stingray92: A newer style example. Yeah, the one my daughter installed... it didn't come with any of the seals because like your new one, it's a sealed bearing unit too. We still bought the seal and such, even though it wasn't required... I figured keeping water out would still prolong the life of it. I had her cover it in bearing grease so that when installed, it would help coat the inside... just to be on the safe side. richard in nc SEP 17, 05:27 PM quote Originally posted by fierofool: Richard, if you've never replaced one before, I suggest you take a small wire brush or some scotchbrite and thoroughly clean the inside of the spindle bore. Clean out the little weep hole at the bottom of the bore that lets any water out that might get inside the bore. Once the seal is installed, lightly coat the inside of the bore with high temp disc brake grease. By lightly, I mean just enough to know that it's coated. Just stay clear of the weep hole. The grease will help to collect any dust and sediment that might get inside so the drain hole doesn't get clogged. i have a wire wheel for a drill that fits perfect. everythings shined up and ready to go. hub gets here friday. seal saturday. i hope they are early. i bought a duralast seal puller to remove the trans seal. it bent all to crap.i had to slide a pipe over it to pop out the seal. the axle came out in two parts. i guess if i wasn't using the back seal i wouldn't have had to transfer the shield over to the new axle. fierofool SEP 18, 09:39 AM Yeah, I looked at an auto parts store seal puller just to put into the tool collection. I decided to order the Lisle Tools puller. Good choice. It's been used by me and several others. Works to perfection. One just needs to be careful with any seal puller that they don't score the surface of the bore. I rented a seal installation kit from the parts store and destroyed my seal. None of the pieces fit and I drove the seal in on an angle. I had thought ahead and luckily ordered two seals. I went to my big tool box, pulled out a one inch drive socket that fit the seal perfectly. Inserted a short extension into it and did a perfect install. richard in nc SEP 18, 12:05 PM i found a piece of exhaust pipe that fit the seal perfectly. richard in nc SEP 20, 07:25 PM i got it back together but somehow knocked the shifter off.i was wondering why park wasn't working while tightening the axle.it must have happened while ripping the old axle out.so i sit in the car intending to run the shifter through the ranges so i hit the brake out of habit. so then im trying to figure out how to get the piston to go back in. its a good thing the ogres site is still up.
