Hello everyone, I have been a stranger to the forum for a while but I'm back I guess a newbie all over again you can say. Anyhow, I started wheeling again and ended up blowing my rear wheel seals out on my 92' with semi-floating diff. I have been everywhere and to purchase these seals but everyone gives me the Timken brand, I first tried these but they collapsed as I put them in, and from the get go I wasn't comfortable with them because they looked completely different. I orderded the OEM through the dealer and am supposed to have them by tommorrow.
My question is.......has anyone ran into this problem before? I've done many rear ends before (that diddn't come out right, but you know what I meant!) and have never had this problem.
Anyhow, I did a lot of searching through the forum and found no write up on it so if guys could just shoot me your thoughts I would be greatful, thanks again!
 
I finally finished up the job, unfortunatley I never took the time to take pics. I got the seals from the dealer and being that they were OEM they fell right into place, no problems. I measured the OEM seals and the Timken seals and they were off by a hair, just enough to have them buckle when I tried to install. My rig is back on the road, and I got plans to go wheeling this weekend, let see how things go........
