Keep me posted on how it works out. I am very curious... My theory is still that the inner seals leak as soon as enough oil leaks in through the outter seal and pools up in the bearings enough to leak out the back. But trust me I would be elated to be wrong.

I love high temp red grease. But I have never used a bearing packer that worked at least well enough to trust it. But like you said, finish them by hand. On a side note. I ran out of grease and had to buy a new tub at schucks or whatever they are now and the only brand they had was CRC. They...

Too bad the question wasnt "they have tools for that now, that actualy work?!?"

But on the inner seal of a deuce the part of the seal that "seals" to the axle portion is just a metal ring that presses onto the the axle. And its not really a press fit it in most terms would be considered a loose fit. And this is the part of the seal that would constantly be submerged with...

Most seals drive into the hub and the rubber seals on the axle housing I can't see this seal sealing anything besides some dust and stopping tons of water pouring in but couldn't possibly stop gear lube from dripping out slowly even without any pressure. Am I seriously messed up in my thinking?

I was just looking into this. It seems as if no one has actually found a way to keep oil in. I found a neat drawing of a way to do it. But so far nobody that has done it. I will keep searching.

You seem far more experianced than I. But I would be real nervous about leaving out the seal and oil bathing these bearings. It sure seems like the (very) small amount of oil that would be just sitting there, not flowing through, on a long straight stretch of highway might not be suffecient. How...

I'm not quite sure what your trying to suggest here. It sounds like you want to not worry about the outter seal and let oil in as per "original design" but you said it would NOT be okay. Just a bit confused. Either way I dont know ANYTHING about 16 spline rockwells but I cant see how the...

My 2cents ? Even though you are done and it probably will work just fine. How much is a new outter seal? I think i paid 6ish bucks. Seems worth it to me to just have it be new. The inner isn't too important as far as I see it however I had a few inner bearings that were stubbern and I used the...
