1949 Packard Rear Axle Pinion Oil Seal

Posted by Packard 1948 On 2015/6/24 10:51:55

Hi all,

The rear axle pinion oil seal is leaking.

After researching on this forum there seems to be some question about the quality of the seal available. My first choice was George at Olcar Bearing however he says they do not make them anymore.

Does anyone have a recommendation on who to get this seal from?

Other than the manual recommendation to mark the location of the nut to return the preload to original, is there any other gotchas or tips someone would like to throw my way before I dive into this thing?

THANKS!!!

Bill
