Rear end identification

blazinchuck Wrote:I was having some serious leaking from mine at the housing and both tubes. I had just installed new seals,bearing...but it still leaked. So, I took everything apart and cleaned it up. I couldn't see anything wrong. But, I put it together with some rtv right around the bearing race(in the tube) hoping that would seal it up better. So far zero leaks! Good luck with yours, there will be plenty of people there to help if anything should go wrong,Chuck

I decided to pull the axle back out and rub a layer of permatex sealant in the housing where the bearing sits. There were a few pits a grooves in there that I thought may be the root cause. No leaks yet after a few week so I'm hoping this gremlin has been laid to rest.
