8-3/4 REAR AXLE SEAL INSTALL ??

[Dan Georgino]

I had a leak problem for years. find out I was using the smaller seal 8835S when I needed the 8659S for Flanges axles. The reason they need to go in tight, so they don,t spin on you.

I picked up another seal yesterday Timken part # 8695-S it measured 2.690 So I put it in the freezer overnight it did shrink a little maybe 2.685 but I don't feel it will be enough to solve my issue. I'll try a flap wheel inside the tube but I can't see any flaws or burrs inside the housing. Thanks to all of you trying to help. This site is the best.

Make sure you are not going past the lip.
