    Blown Hub Seal?

    Once I get all the wheel bearings re-packed in grease, what is the re-packing interval? I usually put 10,000-15,000 miles on the vehicle per year.

    Blown Hub Seal?

    I put it all back together today. I "think" I put the inner seals in correctly. They seemed loose under the locking ring. I also made another mistake and put the inner race in the hub before I put the hub spacer in but since I am not using CTIS I was told it was not needed. I packed the...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    Parts for the rebuild are in. I am going to attempt to put it all back together tomorrow. I will be packing the wheel bearings in Lucas Red N Tacky grease. Any better grease for the wheel bearings? For all of my pin and bushings, I use a super heavy 5% moly grease that I get from my local...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    It was the actual metal of the bearings that welded to the housing. Dremel tool took it off"mostly". It is now smooth all the way around. You can feel slight imperfections in it, I did it by had so it is not machined perfectly but it is close and smooth.

    Blown Hub Seal?

    I got the axle housing cleaned up fairly nicely with a Dremel. Not perfect but it is smooth all the way around and "should" be a nice surface for the new seal. I have never seen a bearing that bad. Outer bearing had oil only on it. No grease. I will check the differential oil once bearings and...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    Well, pulled the hub Monday, brake shoes looked great, got excited that perhaps it wouldn't be too bad once I pulled the hub....pulled the hub today, outer bearing and seal looked good, got the hub off and the inner bearing literally fell apart into pieces. The bearing metal has welded itself...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    I managed to get it back. Thanks for all the help. I did find out that my brakes have been dragging on that wheel so I probably fried the hub seals. I have new parts on order including new shoes, seals, and spring brake can bladder. The hub was hot, but not melt your skin off hot. It was...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    CTIS has been removed. It seems to be dripping from where the CTIS went into the axle. It is not leaking from the outer seal.

    Hey guys, need a lifeline thrown my way. Heading back home from Chicago and stopped at a truck stop for coffee. I got out if the M925A2 and saw my middle drivers side tire was wet.......soaked in gear oil. I am 121 miles out from home. Any suggestions? What is the issue and what parts will I...
