[Bricklin] rear axle leak

[bricklin0095 at aol.com]

The old seal will have the part no. on it as a last resort..Make sure you
check the seal surface on the yoke.. If it is grooved from the old seal you
will need a seal repair kit.. This will be a thin metal sleeve.. Heat it up in
an oven and it will slide over the yoke giving the new seal a nice smooth
sruface to seal on...
Also before removing the yoke put a torque wrench on the big nut and see how
much torque it takes to turn the rear end. When you put it back together use
this figure to ensure the nut goes back on with the correct preload... The
tighter you torque the nut the more torque it will take to turn the gears.

 A Dana 20 is a transfer case. It's an AMC 20 or sometimes called a Corporate
20.

The axle is a Dana 20, used in AMC V8 and Jeep vehicles of the time. I
assume you could get the info on a  Jeep or AMC forum. Hopefully someone can
give you the parts # right here.

Gentlemen,

I have a rear axle leak I should deal with. At the end that the driveshaft
connects to. I assume there is a seal there. Anyone have a part number or
breakdown? What axle does it cross to.

thanks a bunch
