Re: rear axle seal

There is a photo illustration showing both seals in the parts manual and also the SM shows the special tool to install the inner seal in housing behind the bearing.

No good info on a Packard xref number for the inner seal although a Studebaker list gives a ref as 384215 being a Victor 49184, CR 15176 or National 410190. No idea if this is correct.

Some old Packard xrefs give the 324961 outer seal for a 55 senior axle as a Victor 49282, CR 22390 C/R-22382 or National-473473. This also matches the Studebaker list. The senior rear axle assy was the same 53-55, and parts books confirms the same seal number used 53-55.

Edit: corrected CR # and added another CR & National # for outer seal per info in later post by walkerman.
