sup guys, i think its about that time i change my leaking seals from my 84 RN60. its my first time doing this so besides the inner seal what other components should i change while im in there? by the way this is the seal im looking at TIMKEN Part # 710070. can someone verify that it is the right one? the leak drips down into the inside of my tires.
by the way it doesnt drip anymore is it bad to still drive like that in 2wd. or shold i be ok in the mean while as long as i dont use 4wd
When it stops dripping birfield soup that just means the gear oil level has gotten below the level of the seals. No worries.
definitely use the marlin eco-seals, they're MUCH better than any of the others! i've never had one leak yet!
cool because im a start driving it everyday to work and im just concerned with messing up my front strait axel since they can be pricy. but will service those seals once i come up with the money. i did see it didnt include the wheel bearing will getting one of rock auto work?
their full kit includes everything you need to rebuild the axle. its a bit more expensive than the competitors but it really is superior. https://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/...ts/service-front-hilux/front-axle-service-kit
about another bill compare to the first link but ill prob wait then for the kit with wheel bearings i wouldnt want to waste time jaja
Yea i would just save up and rebuild the whole axle at once. 180$ really isn't bad considering your getting top-quality bearings and all new seals...basically have a new axle when your done. As long as your hubs are un-locked and you leave it in 2wd, your not hurting anything by waiting
finally got my kit from marlin crawler, for those who have gotten the kit why are there some cardboard gaskets jajaja well i plan on servicing my axel asap once i get my hands on that 54mm socket jaja any pointers?
