Rear axle seals

[Lynn Eades]

Michael, your pictures are to small/ low resolution for me to see.
The inner seals you are referring to, I believe go in the axle tube, the outer being different. The inners are designed to keep the diff oil in the diff and the axle tubes dry. This is a different spec to the axles we have been discussing prior to your post. The earlier axles never used any of those inner 4702's, and the diff oil could inhabit the axle tube. The use of these seals would require a seal track to be finished on the inner end of each half shaft, and a sized area in the housings, which I don't think the early housings are finished for.The 4702 refers to an axle seal the prefix and suffix define the difference between the two. The one available from Macs is the inner one, which yes, is installed with the lip facing in toward the diff, to keep the oil in the diff.

So far we don't have anything on the leather outer seal, other than my photo. it's counterpart being variously; (from Michael's post)
