Rear axle seals.

#1

Post by Lonnie »

Hi all,

Rear brakes are my next project & I want to change the axle seals at the same time.

Is there a thread that covers this somewhere?

Thanks,
Lonnie

Strangely enough, I don't think so.

Refer to your FSM, RA section. :wink:

On my 1981 720 there are two rear axle seals on each side, IIRC, on each side of the bearing. The outside one comes off easily. The inner one required a special tool to either remove or install, I can't recollect which. It was easy to make but I had a welder then. If you have oiled rear brakes both seals will need replacing. I did this years ago so do not tax me regarding the details.
