Steering Knuckle Oil Seal

Post by Mighty Eighth » Fri Jun 13, 2003 9:07 am

I have a replacement kit for my '46 and it came with replacement bolts for the oil seal assembly halves. Is it necessary to replace the original bolts if they are in good condition? Also, the job appears fairly straight forward. Any tricks I should be aware of :?: gary

I was wondering about cutting the felt. Diagonal cut makes sense. :wink: gary

Job complete! Polished spherical surface of axle as manual says and smoothed out a couple of rough spots. Went back together easily. Topped off with lubricant, and best of all no leaks. :wink: gary
