Diff Wheel Seal Locking Hubs with Quadra Trac

[rcazparts]

Rebuilding the Dana 30 on my new to me 1979 CJ7 . Wheel seals should be easy. These locking hubs have been difficult. Evidently, the kit for the locking hubs comes with spindles. Those spindles use a different wheel seal than the stock parts. NAPA sold me SKF part 21159 for $22.90 per seal as stock replacement. Inner diameter is too small by 1/2". Finally found a part number printed on the rubber of one old seal: 5356675. Local parts houses don't recognize it. Google returns a number of links to the seal for online vendors. Amazon returns seal Omix-ada 16708.03. Google returns 4 Wheel Parts has this one so they ordered it and should be here tomorrow. Hope it is correct. Oh, it cost $3.99 per seal.

Rock Auto returned seals based on 5356675, but the dimension were wrong. Shaft was 2.312 where I am measuring 2.85 on the seal surface of the spindle. Rock Auto did not return anything for 16708.03.

Interesting I wonder if the axle is original or been swapped out or changed at some point

The 16708.03 I ordered from 4 wheel parts fit. Oddly, the bearings are the same as stock.
