    Rear seal 9 inch Ford

     



    Didn't know exactly where to post this, but have a small drip coming
    from the rear seal of my ford 9 inch. Are there any quick remedies to
    this problem.. Seal is just 6 months old... If I have to replace the seal,
    can I just take off the Pinion yoke and put another seal in without
    taking unit out...........thanks

    I'll add to what Denny says that if its leaking after only 6 months there is probally a groove worn into the yoke. I would suggest you install a speedi- sleeve (repair sleeve)on the yoke or replace it.

    Your probably right about leaking thru the splines...New ring gear and pinion
    installed earlier, so should not have time to wear. will try sealant around
    spline washer..........thanks rd

    Nobody mentioned the crush collar.
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.

    I have often seen guys get the bearing too tight by over crushing the sleeve when they put the pinion nut back on..Nice thing about the 9" is that you can take the pinion housing out and check it if you like.

    I haven't had time to take the yoke off. Had new 472 gears all new stuff
    including crush sleeve done by someone else..Have not a clue about rear
    ends, or those shims...It might not be worth worring about at this time until I get engine in a take it for a spin..Who knows, I might have
    to try something different..The leak is very small.. Will let you guys know
    more in the future what takes place here...thanks for coments r dobbs
