    So I seem to have a consistent leak out of the final drive assembly into the brake drum then down the rim and to the rubber. Not a huge gusher but defiantly something I want to take care of sooner than later.

    Having not done it before any tips? I assume I will need to order from Len the following:

    HCP5108 OEM driveshaft REAR OIL SEAL
    HCP9348 OEM final drive housing OUTPUT OIL SEALHCP9348 OEM final drive housing OUTPUT OIL SEAL
    HCP9765 OEM final drive housing OUTPUT O-RING

    And should I also replace the:
    HCP5107 OEM final drive housing OUTPUT OIL SEAL
    since I am there?

    Thanks!

    Very good idea but, I would rather repair the one that I have, mostly because I have had it apart once for new tires and general cleaning and it is in great shape other than the leak.

    If you have the Ass-end off to toil with it's Oil Seals, ... you have cleared the way for another half-hour's work will renew a Oil Seal which would involve having to remove the Back-end again.

    The real-old-timers used to have a saying about a situation like this:

    "Don't go to New York without seeing the Statue of Liberty!"

    Put-in the New Final Drive Seal!
    Why not???
