rocken Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Working on a 54 Olds 88, and the rear axle seal is leaking. Wondering if there is anything special about pulling the axle and replacing the seal. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Not a difficult job, remove the four axle bolts and pull it straight out, might need a puller to loosen it but usually not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocken Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks, kind of what I thought, but better to ask first. Will have to order the seals, parts store doesn't list them. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Don’t know where you live, but on old seals like that, I pull them and head to the bearing supply store. Let them mic ‘em and replace. Excellent quality and know they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocken Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 We have a bearing supply store in town, but a pretty good bet they would not have any like these. They are not like a later model seal. If you go to Fusick, and look them up, there is a good picture of one. Got them out today, but they put up a good fight! Pretty sure they were the originals as the sealing part was more like felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If there is a part number on them call the bearing supply store, they may surprise you. What have you got to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocken Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 No part number on the original. Got replacement from Fusick, tried to install today. Seem to be a little bit too big. Will try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
