RE: [Chevelle-list] Help with seals on 9" rear

Hi John,

 

I found a set of seal installers at (take your pick - Autozone, Pep Boys, etc).  They're nothing more than a set of different size discs that attach to a steel handle.  Pick the correct size disc, attach it to the handle, then tap the seal in place.

 

If you haven't already installed your seals  -  When I got my Currie 9", the passenger side seal leaked.  Currie sent me a new axle bearing and seal and suggested when I install the seal to put a light film of RTV on the outer edge of the seal.  I did and it's been over a year with no leak.  HTH.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Help with seals on 9" rear

I am putting together a new Moser 9" rear end for my 69SS. I know I need some kind of seal installer for the seals that go in the rear axle. I already screwed up one set of seals trying the large socket and hammer. I need a seal installer, but would like to know what one looks like so I make sure I get the right thing.

 

Does anybody have any hints or recomendations on the best way to go about installing these?

 

Thanks.
