G749 Leaky diffs
I'll put it back together using your seal trick instead of the cork and try it again.
This wasn't even the problem we were going after so even though I'm glad we found it, we were trouble-shooting the brakes........
Good ol' G749 challenges.
You haven't seen a rear inner seal shred itself inside the hub before either?
I wish I knew, I'd like it back! I think it's here on the back of the wheel. The diff fluid must have gone down the valley. The inner seal had to be hole that it found to leak into the drum. With the spring gone and no damage on the rubber, bearings or races it happened quick and pretty recently. I washed the truck 10x last year and would have seen the leak, Marshall SuperDave would have seen the leak. It's a little bizarre, the other rears are fine. I can't find the cork so I'd like to know where that went too.Help me out. My bearings are all running in wheel bearing grease. They are packed. It takes about a pound per wheel. The outer seal keeps the oil out of the bearings, the inner keeps the grease out of the brakes. Where did your grease go?
