Hello,
pulled out my rear axles as they were leaking oil a bit.
Both axles are having groove in them, the longer axle is very noticable, the short axle is little bit better.
One of the spindles got few scratches, not sure if these can cause leaks too.
So, the axles can be easily replaced, but what to do with the spindle? It is part of the differential so not replaceable. Can this be polished a bit with scotch cloth or something similar? Or push the inner seal little bit more inside the spindle and then seal it with some gasket maker?
thanks
