Rear axle seals
I will be soon doing my brakes again hopefully for the last time for a long long time. I am trying to do everything right within my financial means and above all cover all my bases. I know next to nothing about these rear ends.
Does anyone have a good part number for this paper seal
I understand that I can make them but what a pain in the butt I would think and if they are readily avail ( and assuming they are cheap enough ) than I would rather go that route.
Is it safe to assume that these seals help to keep the gear oil within the differential. Is this the only seal? I guess there has to be an inner seal.
I have found that the only way to access these wheel cylinders was to remove the axle, do I need to worry about tearing some other seal somewhere up inside. If I do need to worry about that than chances are I have already done so and I need to get it taken care of while it is all apart.
Is the rear end made by Eaton, I know that some parts carry the Eaton name but if I were to reference the rear end assy would it be proper to use the term Eaton and be correct.
If anyone can think of anything I need to consider here before putting it all back together than it would sure be appreciated.

Respectfully, sir, I could make that gasket quicker than I could look up any part number, try to find, and order. That gasket retains the lubrication within the hub at the outside. The inner seal is the one that goes into the back side of the inside bearing. The inner seal fails and you contaminate the brakes. The gasket fails and you see oil slung all over the outside of the wheel. Sorry not much help, just suggestions.

In another thread, you asked about an Eaton 2 speed rear axle electric switch bracket that retains it to the shift lever (I found one NOS).

I have a 49-51 with 52 supplement parts book but as far as I can tell it does not show my set-up ( or at least the pictures are not identical )
I have been told by chuck at chucks trucks that electric motor in these axles was not avail until 53 so its odd that my truck has this? Prior to this I am assuming they were all vacuum assist.
I have tried placing Eaton model 16600 within a google search looking for a page from something but come up blank.
I would like to see among many other things these inner seals that retain the gear oil within the rear axle. I have a feeling that I am going to end up replacing these eventually and it wont be of course until after I have everything all buttoned up together I am sure. Thanks again for any help

Can you tell me the name of this seal, maybe a part number, maybe if it is still avail. Anything at all will help, I am sure between you and Bill ( numberdummy ) I can get the seals I need and not have to worry about gear oil leaking all over my new brake job. Thank-you
