80 Series Swivel housing rear seal - Greasing leaking onto ball
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:59 am
Has anyone had any luck with cutting the gasket and rubber seal to do this without dismantling the hub?

Seems to be a regular issue. I guess doing those seals would make sense as it will all be apart.
That wasnt me, but we did replace everything that wears when we did the front end as the oil leak was driving me nutsmudlva wrote:wjw wrote:*sigh* It was only two years ago (20,000km's ish) that the we did all the seals, new axles and CV's ... no offroading since then either

tbh from what I've read it's likely because I'm part time 4wd. The vibration of the axles in the seal deforms it over time. That problem doesnt happen when its rotating. I guess two years/20K must be that time.mudlva wrote:K... my badwjw wrote:That wasnt me, but we did replace everything that wears when we did the front end as the oil leak was driving me nutsmudlva wrote:

So either a bent axle housing or half shaft.
I know its hard to do but try blueing the new seal.
If everything is nice and straight then it may be a case of reshimming the king pins to raise or lower the half axle relasionship to center the axle on to the seal properly.
That is the purpose of the shims
