dbcooper292 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Hi all - I'm compuzzled once again! 49 B 1 D three speed, 2wd. I ordered a new rear trans bearing and rear seal, which actually resides in a short tailshaft case containing the speedo drive and parking brake mount. The bearing looks right, but the seal is too big in diameter on the outside (won't fit into seat in tailshaft). The inside of the seal seems correct. I took the old seal out and brought it to NAPA, where their information matched the specs on the big seal I received. I gave them the measurements of the old seal and they couldn't find anything to match. So, the seal which came out of my truck measures a little over 2 1/2 in on the outside (2.567) and a little over 1 1/2 inches on the inside (1.567 about). The seal I received in my order is about the same on the inside but 2.88 on the outside. The seal I received in my order is numbered CR 15761. Any thoughts about where I'm going wrong and how I can get the right seal? Thanks, DB Quote
Tony_Urwin Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I tried every decent parts store in Cincinnati with the bearing retainer in hand. The best seal anyone could find was National 1216N. It was perfect on the ID, but a little loose on the OD. I almost tried to glue it with sleeve retainer, but finally found a better seal on eBay. It is a perfect fit, virtually identical in appearance to the original seal. The bad news is: It came in a plain white box, with no part number on the seal. The good news: He still has them for sale. The seller's username is jobrated. His eBay store is named All Kinds of Surplus. Edited November 12, 2010 by Tony_Urwin clearer explanation Quote
