I just replaced the rear oil seal for the transfer case in my '66 4WD and it's still leaking like before. Any suggestions as to what else may be causing this to happen? TIA!
If the seal-rub surface of the yoke is grooved or scored then there is a good chance a new seal won't stop the leak. You would have to use a micrometer to measure the journal and see if you can get a speedy-sleeve if its bad. Otherwise it would have to be reworked, usually they are hard chromed and ground to dimension... pricey. Or, if you're lucky ND might do one of his magic tricks and find an NOS one somewhere.

Thanks for the reply. I inspected the yoke and cleaned it before putting it back on and all looked good. Maybe it has just worn down enough to allow leakage? I have access to a Dana 20 transfer case from a Bronco and am wondering if it's yoke would be a direct swap for my Dana 21?? If so, my problem is solved because the Dana 20 did not leak.
