Re: [Chrysler300] Axle seals

["Cox Scooter465@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to pack bearing

Prior to installation.

The inner seal is there to

Keep rear end oil from

Washing grease out of bearings. That was always

The weak point of the

83/4 rear. Inner seal would

Fail and rear end oil would

Wash grease out of bearing

And it would start making

Noise.

Hello, everyone:

I'm setting up parts to reinstall the rear axles on my '59 E. I noticed in the parts manual there are inner and outer seals. I remember cataloguing only the outer seal (CR-15200) when I pulled the axles a couple of years ago. Questions:

If the seal is placed behind the bearing, is the bearing packed with grease by hand before installing?

P/N is 1673-373. Is an after market replacement available?

CR-15200 is virtually non-existent. No luck on E-Bay or similar sites. I do have a couple of outer oil seals from a '64 (P/N 2070788) that have the same dimensions, matching them together, but the seals themselves are of different configurations. Any precautions?

Best,
Ron Kurtz
