G,day, all, this thread with pics is magnificent. I will be having a crack at my CV and axle seals as soon as my parts arrive as I have grease dribbling down the brake shield. I have two questions.
1. The hub seal definitely fits in with the two lips toward the CV, and the one big lip into the hub, doesn't it?
2. I have innox Extreme pressure M8 grease which is for farm machinery, marine, CV joints and brake wheel bearings. (Bloody expensive, but as water crossings are on the cards, I think it will be worth it). Has anyone had any dramas with it?
1. Big lip on the hub seal faces the CV.Quote:

Yea when I removed mine it was big lip (seal end, flat side) towards the cv.
Look at it like this. You use seals to keep oil grease etc in. The oil is thinner than grease so you want to keep the oil in the diff, so you place the seal as if the diff was a bearing, not the cc. Hope that makes sense..

Thanks K I think I know what you're saying and you are correct, though in this case I think you are referring to the axle seal rather than the hub seal from the previous post.Quote:

Which is opposite to what was on my Old Trol when I took it apart to repack the bearings. The one big lip was rubbing on the spindle ,so I replaced it as such. so I'm still confused.

in the pic below you can see where is has rubbed on the CV. Note that it is shaped to fit straight onto the spindle and the "Lip" is facing towards the CV to create the seal when spinning.

In the pic above you can also see the inner axle seal still in position in the diff housing. that is the bugger that most often fails and is the cause of the weeping of Diff Oil down teh inside of the inner stone guard. it is a bugger that the whole thing comes apart to get to it.
The one actually in the hub. MR.

Awesome well put together
Yep I'll be needing this one soon
@AB Check out the photobucket pics above mate? Now have a water mark but are showing up? Is this across the forum?
Hi Darren, commented on photo bucket watermark earlier today incorrectly, note that only post 17 pic does not have the water marks.Quote:

Some yrs back I replaced wheel bearings, hub dust seal, removed & greased CV and now the inner axle seal is weeping. My knuckle assy is in good nick, so will just repack bearing, CV, install new hub dust seal and inner axle seal.
To remove inner axle seal do I use a finger type inertia puller or what did you do (have not yet pulled down)?
Recall that you did a rebuild thread for front axle/knuckle flange assy, could you attach link. Thanks mate
Hi mate, it bbn is a Sticky in the DIY section i think.Quote:
