Old buicks 2 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Where can I find rear wheel seals for an 18 Maxwell. Also, what type of fluid or grease should I use for the rear wheel bearings? Thank you in advance Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre1939chrysler Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Any heavy grease with liithium or graphite is good . 1928 is too early for me. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Tom, Maxwell front and rear wheel seals are made up of 2 tin stampings that trap felt rings between them. Mine were so beat up I found a modern seal that fit the axle tube bearing surface and had a machine shop make an aluminum plate held with allen screws to the hub. I also had them drill the hub for a grease fitting hidden by the hub cap.
