Hello All,
replaced all axle seals last year and the PTO seal. PTO has a little leak yet, but when I was cleaning the underside I noticed a dibble down the back of the brake plate on the right side. That is the same side my puller wasn't strong enough to get the hub off - had to take it to my ford dealer. I read about putting permatex different areas when reassembling but some thought against it so I opted not to do it. While I read it, reading again this year, I wonder if the hub is too loose. What I re-read this year is that a loose hub could cause the leak. As I said, this hub was on very tight. The dealer said my hub and bearing are just fine. I put all the same shims back, new seal and brakes. I put the hub on both sides, but did not torque it. So I wonder if I did just tighten down on it more, that might just stop the leak - I just didn't catch on to the comments about a loose hub as the cause of the leak. The left side does not leak . I don't know why I haven't done that step yet, just knowing that I was still working on other areas and wasn't driving it around yet I suppose. I guess I don't have anything to loose, right?
If that doesn't work, do I then try the permatex method? And could I reuse the new seal I put on?
