yeah, 53 and part of 54 have a different pinion seal than most other years. Just ordered from Max. Anybody in Germany or europe with a 48-52 looking for a seal?
Can somebody tell me which year this seal fits? The number is National -5856, and it is 3.5 inch od, and looks to be 1.5 inch ID.

Also, another question. I have leather replacement seals for the front wheel bearings. (Chicago Rawhiders) should I soak them overnight in oil before installing like I would with the pinion seal?
Thanks guys.
