Decided to replace the front axle seals as well. One side looked okay, the other side was an older leather seal that was a bit rougher. Figure while I have everything apart, I may as well replace them both with fresh seals so I don't have to go back in later if there is an issue.

$16 at my local NAPA, and they will be here tomorrow.

The only part I need to make is a paper gasket that goes between the rear backing plate and the "grease shield" piece.

I believe I had to make that similar part on my '54 as well.

Is there supposed to be some type of gasket between the rear backing plates and the axle housing? There wasn't evidence of one when I pulled this apart.
