8 3/4 gasket locations

I bet you cured it. The new inner seal should hold all of the lube where it belongs, as long as the rubber seals around the axle.

Just curious, was the spring still on the old seal.

bruce,

now you got me wondering if napa has been selling me the correct seal...it fit nice and tight and 8 3/4 tube dia is bigger than 7 1/4...gonna try and cross ref the part#s just to be sure...
