Re: Rear end seals

I changed my rear wheel seals with modern, they're available (for my car, anyway). I had it done professionally, because I needed to have the rear springs sent out and re-sprung anyway, and the gas tank removed, etc.

I just discovered last week that my rear main seal is leaking, so here's my plan. The pinion seals are available. If you get NOS, the inserts are leather (I'm pretty sure, based on what another forum member has told me). I've got a NOS, so I'm going to go to a bearing supply store and get a modern insert. I don't know if the suppliers such as Kanter or Merrit sell their pinion seals with modern inserts or not. Fred, I'm sure, may chime in and let us know.
