Attn- Tom Parsons-

I need some information on leaking axle seals. I have Diff fluid leaking on to the backside of the rear tires. I have replaced the 2 "O" rings on the bearings, and siliconed the housing where the bearings ride. I have also put new gaskets on the retainers. Where should I look next? The leak is on both sides.

1962 Impala 409/409 41000 miles factory 3:36 posi, stock original axles.


Thanks -- This is driving me crazy!!

 

Tom - Thanks for the information. This should be a simple fix. I was unaware that there is a seal on the bearing.
