The seals are not leaking "badly", just enough over the past couple of years to "Wet" down the brake drums and bands. There was no oil actually dripping out of the brake covers down the side of the tranny. I think some of the leaking is actually comming out of the area where the drum fits over the shaft. I noticed that this area was really wet and that someone in the past tried to fabricate a gasket to fit under the large washer that (with the end bolt) holds the brake drum on the end of the cross shaft. My plan is to clean this area up real good with brake parts cleaner and apply a liberal amount of RTV on the inside of the brake drum to cross shaft contact area (only the outer half)before sliding the brake drum all the way on. Then put some more under the large washer before installing it and the bolt. That should seal out any oil that trys to make it through the inside of the brake drum and out the end of the cross shaft. I did not have to use a puller to get the brake drums off, just used an impact wrench to loosen the bolt and pulled them off by hand. No noticable rocking of the drums on the shaft, just nice and lubed up from the oil that had worked it's way inside the brake drum and cross shaft contact area. These brake drums are not "pressed fit" on a tapered shaft from what I can tell??? Any comments, or are my cross shafts/brake drums just really worn out??
