I have Moser 35 spline large bearing axle Rogue Bronco 07-23-2002, 09:48 PM If the seal goes between the flange and the bearing, would that not mean that you gotta pull the seal every time you pull the axles, as the bearings are pressed onto the axle. I question how you would even install such a seal. Aggro 07-24-2002, 11:08 AM 3rd try for today. These bearings/seals almost always leak. I added an inner seal that seals the gear oil from the bearings. Lube the bearings with grease. The seal rides on the inside of the bearing retainer ring. 35 spline dutchman shafts. seal: Aggro 07-24-2002, 11:09 AM where the seal seals: Mondo EB 07-24-2002, 11:44 AM Aggro nice find, hopefully I can locate some for my 31 spliners Aggro 07-24-2002, 12:47 PM they are the same. 31 and 35 spline use the same bearings, retaining ring. Get the same seal, pop it in and you're good to go. Mondo EB 07-24-2002, 03:08 PM Ok,Seals against the retainer, got it (sometimes I really can read) :confused: I didn't know that the 35s used the same A20 taper bearing. Do happen to know a part number or application for the seal? :beer: Rogue Bronco 07-24-2002, 03:19 PM Originally posted by Aggro 31 and 35 spline use the same bearings. So 31 & 35 spline axles have the same OD at the bearing?? I was under the impression that the 35 spliners were 'bigger' all around. jslater 07-24-2002, 11:58 PM Aggro, You Da Man!!! That was the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks. Aggro 07-25-2002, 06:46 AM Originally posted by Rogue Bronco So 31 & 35 spline axles have the same OD at the bearing?? I was under the impression that the 35 spliners were 'bigger' all around. Nope, just out towards the center of the axle- the oem's taper down to 31 spline, 35 spline's just stay large. Not to mention aftermarket shafts are usually alloy which is roughly 30% stronger than an oem axle material. Ok,Seals against the retainer, got it (sometimes I really can read) No, it seals on the axleshaft, right next to the retainer. I didn't know that the 35s used the same A20 taper bearing. Do happen to know a part number or application for the seal? Yep, same set-A20. Seal part number is national 51098, just like seen in the pic. Aggro, You Da Man!!! That was the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks. Rock on!
