Drain the fluid out. Also works with Winters & Frankland rear ends.






Seriously, I ran a bead of Permatex around the bearing before installing it. Housing is well used.

Make sure your breather vent isn't plugged & is large enough. Mine is 1/4" i.d.

DON'T OVERFILL IT!! I only put in enough rear end grease to cover the teeth on the bottom of the ring gear, about an 1.75" in depth.

The only remaining leakage, more like seepage, that I have is from the side cover & rear cover gasket area. All three covers are less than flat!
