I need help finding a part!
First let me say that I really appreciate this website. I have a 2001 F-250, a 1975 F-250 Hiboy, and a 1963 F-500.
I need your help in locating a rear axle grease seal for my 1963 Ford F-500. I have been to the local Ford and Napa dealers and looked online to no avail.
My VIN #F50CG380546 (Most places don't recognize this number)
The axle tag... Rockwell D100 NX1 ratio 6:20 TDAW 4005B
Brake size is 15 x 4
GVW is 15,000
The physical dimensions of the seal are... 3.125 x 4.625 x .437
Thanks for any help or guidance that you are able to offer!

Thanks for your help, Bill. I have it ordered and should receive it in a couple of days. I wasn't able to remove the rim from the hub, so I removed them together. I have been unsuccessful in getting them to separate. I heated around the studs with a rosebud and tapped on the studs with a sledgehammer. I have soaked them in penetrating oil and tried prying them apart. I am afraid of breaking the brake drum if I get much more aggressive with it.. But I am also concerned about damaging the oil seal if I try to reassemble the hub and drum with the wheel attached. Does anyone have any thoughts on my dilemma?
Thanks, Kevin

I just replaced rear brakes on my '68 F600......removed the duals and drums as a unit. Much easier but you have to be careful and slide them straight out. I used a couple of wheel dollies.
You are taking off both sets of lug nuts, right? Inner and outer? Sorry, had to ask...

I thought about using a dolly to put the hub/wheel back on. I don't have one but could make one with some plywood and casters. I will have to confess that I didn't even think about those pesky inner lugnuts, that might help things considerably! I have a 50 ton press that I could use by making a ring the diameter of the stud circle to press on all of the studs evenly. Maybe putting a little even pressure on the studs with some penetrating oil and a little vibration from a pneumatic hammer would persuade it to come apart. I have heard from several people that these drums are very difficult to find.
