so can you just replace that o-ring to stop a leak?

 

Ha! 50% of the time you just blow the crud out of the axle breather tube and don't worry about the seal TWO more reasons the D1 is better

 

[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]The front seal on my rear axle was leaking when I bought my truck, new axle breather and no more leaks. Man I love it when it it is simple. And cheap. And reliable.

 

You are having a hard time dealing with this aren't you.
If your tube is clear, and you are leaking gear oil, you need a hub, PERIOD.

 

mike, I've had about enough of you and your nonconstructive condescending attitude towards me and my questions. If you have a personal problem with me please feel free to PM me your number and we'll settle this...old man.

 

New hubs, at least from the dealer, do not come with new o-ring seals. You can try a new o-ring, but 8 out of 10 times, the hub bearing itself is leaking and a new hub is required. Get both and save yourself some trouble.

kyle, thanks for clearing up the confusion. I could not understand why such an expensive repair was needed for a simple seal, but if the hub bearing itself is leaking then it makes sense that it needs to be replaced.
