Matt Harwood Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm not sure what kind of fluid specifically (probably 90 weight gear oil for the transmission), but here's a tip for reinstalling your torque ball. Polish the "ball" surface to a mirror shine before you reinstall it (and I mean really polish it). This will help it seal up properly and protect the new seal for a long, long time. A lot of guys don't bother to clean these up which is perhaps why they are so notorious for leaking.Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Tams Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thanks, you're absolutely right the surfaces have to be clean. I read the manual again and it said that the seal was impregnated with a lubricant that was long lasting and required no further attention. The stuff that I scooped out looked a lot like pinion dope. I must confess that I am totally ignorant in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
