tcslr Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have never tackled something like this so am looking for some input/help.!932 chevrolet - the right rear axle is leaking oil. I pulled drum and see eight bolts holding a flanged cover. The key looks like it needs to be removed. then I saw a gasket - makes sense. The axle seemed to want to pull out -How do I remove this to see if the seal is leaking? can someone send fairly simple guidance or step-by-step instructions? I could have a local guy 9restorer) do this but I want to do more myself. Nothing ventured/nothing gained. A little history: We just completed the Founders tour in this car. After the end of the week - and the car performed great, I loaded it on the trailer, tied it down. After getting home the right rear tire was flat and I saw the leaking oil. Since it was probably that way on the five hour ride home, would that have somehow drained towards the wheel? Thank you in advance. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vila Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) If I were you I would buy a copy of the "1932 Chevrolet Car and Truck Shop Manual" as found on Ebay. If you don't already have one, you can find it on Ebay at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVROLET-Car-Truck-1932-Shop-Manual-Chevy-/290463212864?hash=item43a0f4e540&vxp=mtr I have the 1933 version of this manual for my 1933 Chevrolet Master and I must say it should explain exactly how to accomplish this task on your 1932, and you can't beat the cost of $19.59 plus free shipping. This thing is packed with a lot of good information on repairing your car. My 1933 Chevrolet Master is different in that the rear drums are riveted to the axles so I need to pull the axles even to service the rear brakes and the 1933 version of this manual explains exactly how to do this. I looked at my 1929 - 1934 Chevrolet part manual and all the parts are different, so I believe the way this is done on my car are is going to be different then on yours.

Pull the seal by taking the 8 bolts around the axle shaft , pull the seal off . you can buy a modern seal from The Filling Station . There a great place to find parts and info for your 32 .
