Anyone ever replace the o-ring seal that is on the axle bearing??
Any idea what size it is?? Would rather not have to pull it out until I was ready to swap the o-ring, gasket, and fluid. :lol:

No one eh?
i got a 9 incher.......dunno about it having any O ring though :D
:bump:
I have gone to three places and gotten nothing.
I have a 9" too...-1"
Wish I could help ya, but whenever I stick it in something, I hate pulling it out.
if it is a Moser axle, the bearing is probably a ball bearing type. i have seen them wear and leak through the bearing, so you may wanna check that out. the bearing o.d. is 3.150. it is not a factory type bearing, so parts stores will not have it. it is just a standard o-ring. may wanna try hardware stores and ask for a 3 x 3/32 o-ring will get you by. if not call Strange or Moser and have them mail one to ya.
Moser told me it is a 2.5" o-ring.
Everything local places had was too thick.
I will pull the axle sometime and check it, I hope that isn't it...because it has been a slight leak since the whole new rearend went in.
I had that problem and had to match one up with measurements. I got one from like a 79 Ford F150 from Napa to match up as close as possible it was more like 2.475 or something like that. Not quite 2.5. Used a digital mic to measure the ID and went from there.
Thinking maybe I will just get a whole new bearing from Moser. :yup:
Just in case.
Curious...is this the driver's side>?
It isn't. Slow leak on the passenger side.
My biggest problem is that it leaks all over the inside of the wheels. :lol:
When you talked to Moser, they didn't offer to just send you them?
I mean really, what is it 5 bucks for two or something, they shoulda just threw 'em to ya.
They sent me the center section stud I needed, but refered me to the local auto parts shop for the o-ring.Quote:
