Hi guys, I'm replacing the leaking axle seals on my 55 running a split case. Does anyone know of the best place to purchase? Are some better than others?

Cheers,

John.

make sure you flatten the seal housing on a glass plate with wet n dry paper before fitting the new seals

they get over tightened and you can fit 10 new seals and they will still leak

also clean the gasket and sealing surfaces on the brake backing plates

use fine wet n dry on the bearing spacer to remomve wear marks from the old seal

good quality seals available from VVDS in Sydney 02-9789-1777
