fcfred 10-29-2001, 06:18 PM I'm dissassembling my front dana 60 and I have removed the inner tube seals, but I think there is still a guide in there how do i get this out? [ 10-30-2001: Message edited by: fcfred ] fcfred 10-30-2001, 09:32 PM uhm anyone out there? SHERPA 10-31-2001, 06:31 AM Fred, what kind of "guide" are you referring to? I popped the seals outta my 60 inners with an old axle shaft. (I didn't plan on reusing them) and after they were out, there wasn't anything left inside the tube..... --Sherpa fcfred 10-31-2001, 10:38 AM the seals look like a piece of rubber attached to a round piece of sheet metal the guide looks like a thick metal ring i'll try to get some pics Shaker 10-31-2001, 02:50 PM As long as you get the outter part of the seal out there is nothing else in there... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> Hypoid Drive 10-31-2001, 02:55 PM I dot believe you will ever get them out the area you are refering to is machied to accept the axle seal its the tube your looking at <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> onetonwillysands10 10-31-2001, 03:52 PM Originally posted by fcfred: <STRONG>the seals look like a piece of rubber attached to a round piece of sheet metal the guide looks like a thick metal ring i'll try to get some pics</STRONG> Fred there are two different types of inner seals at the carrier.There is the older type that looks like a piece of rubber with a bellish shaped ring that protrudes outward toward the knuckle aspect of the tube like what you described. The newer version is a straight seal like the wheel bearing seal on the back of the bearing hub.If you have the older style the seal often rips away from the bell shpaed part taht you described..You can try taking a long piece of pipe and knocking it out..Another option is try driving something between it and the housing so it will dislodge..if you need any further help pm me.. fcfred 11-01-2001, 04:56 PM this is what I removed <IMG width=270 height=203 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/inner tube seals a.jpg"> this is what is left <IMG width=324 height=243 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/DRIVERS SIDE INNER TUBE copy.JPG"> Hypoid Drive 11-01-2001, 05:12 PM fred the weird black stuff is silicon the factory used to seal the tubes to ensure that they didnt leak. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> fcfred 11-01-2001, 05:38 PM tech guru uhm ok btw how long you lived in sylva do you know bill hardman or ben harrell? two guys I went to school with in NC damn I miss the south bar-be-que &sweet iced-t bronco78 11-01-2001, 05:55 PM fred the weird black stuff is silicon the factory used to seal the tubes to ensure that they didnt leak I normally do not do "ya I agree" posts, but figured a second opinion on this would put your mind at ease. You have removed the seal, in the pic you posted, there is nothing in the tube/housing but the machined bore and the sealant used at the OEM to prevent leakage fcfred 11-01-2001, 06:27 PM ok thanks guys Hypoid Drive 11-01-2001, 06:38 PM fred myself and benjie went to school togather for years good buddies are you a friend og theirs when they lived in oregon fcfred 11-01-2001, 06:44 PM tech I emailed you LC Hamma 11-02-2001, 09:42 AM fred the weird black stuff is silicon the factory used to seal the tubes to ensure that they didnt leak I thought that stuff was part of another seal because it looked too perfectly rounded compared to the silicone seals I'm used to applying. FYI Fred, don't go to Napa for your rebuild kit. All they have is balljoint stuff <IMG SRC="smilies/puke.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> BTDT | |
