8 3/4 Inner Axle Seal Installer Tool

Murray said

Are all seals at the same depth? 7 1/4", 8 3/4", 9 1/4" ? With axles removed, measure from axle retainer to bearing retainer. The seal will be just beyond that. No need to fit inside the seal, just the outside for driving

I doubt that those 3 are the same.

Maybe the Dana 60 and 8 3/4 but there is no reason they should be the same.

Right now I don't have an axle with OEM style bearings on it, so I'm baseing everything off of a bare axle and a set of new style green bearings.

I will know a lot more when I get the axle out


My first attempt with 3D print fits well in the housing. And bottoms out on the backing plate before the bearing edge makes any contact.

I can reduce the bearing depth and increase the seal depth to be sure.

Anyone have a trashed OEM housing end and an axle with oem style bearings on it they want to part with???

(Yes mods I know I need to start a wanted ad)

I would section it to see the fit etc.
