Front Inner Wheel Seal

[Mofo]

I am new to the M35A2 and need a little help.

I just picked up the deuce not to long ago and see that the inner front passanger tire is wet. I am sure it is just the wheel seal and would like to fix it asap.

Where would I find these parts and is there a DIY with some pictures. I have searched and saw that most of the links are not working anymore.

Here is a picture of what it looks like:

First you need your supply's and tools. Order your front axle hub kits from old Iron.

Check out this sight. Helped me.Front axle seals and boots stepXstep
Clean the axle knuckle before taking it apart. You will need a bearing puller and slide hammer like the one shown in my picture. the whole ring has to come out. the seal is behind it.
make sure the seal goes in solid side of seal facing out to the universal joint, put a little grease new seal lip, no dry start up. I didn't remove backing plate didn't need wheel cylinders. Just hung it over the tie rod end. Make sure to grease the king pins when your done. Also a box with a plastic bag inside it to clean all the muck you will find. Silicon the spindle behind the backing plate with the 10 bolts in it the tork is 31-36 pounds for the nuts . also grease the shaft. the first large nut is 50 pounds/ back of 1/ 16 inch, then lock washer, then second nut 100-150 pounds.

I would pull it and look at the brake cylinder first, they leak alot more than the seals, but of course if you are shure its oil , then it is, just an fyi.......Beautiful truck !!!!!

Smell the oil, Gear oil has a nasty smell. If its leaking from the boot more likely inside seal leak.

Ok thanks for all the info! The inside of the tire is all wet so I just assumed it is the seal.
