Default Four required ?

Ford Canada calls for four (4) of the same seals in the rear axle. (EDIT NOTE: Info Lynn E., an error in the manual, the inner and outer seals are not the same part or part number)

The Canadian manual FUC-03 did call for the standard British seal, LV3/FD BB 4245-B. However, when stocks were depleted, the Canadian seal was to be supplied. That seal shows up with two different Canadian part numbers, C01T-4702 being the final replacement of both LV3/FD BB 4245-B and C01Q 4702 B.

Looking at Chilwell, you can see the rear axle grease retainer in the selection of different country supplied part numbers. As Hanno indicated, the illustration # 54 points to British part number LV3/FD BB 4245-B. In Chilwell, the American part number is not GAE 4702 as found in FUC-03, but is BB-4245-B, same as the Chilwell part number.
