Dealing with a rear axle shaft here on a Jeep but
with the expertise on this forum, I'm sure someone
will know an answer to my question.
I bought some replacement seals that seem to be
extremely tight, they are the correct seal # for
the application. Not having too much experience
with this, I'm wondering just how tight the fit
should be (or feel). It's a double-lipped
neoprene seal (one lip is smaller in diameter than
the other) and the shaft is about 1.85" in
diameter. Let's say for this 1.85" shaft, is
there any standard size(s) that the seal
diameter(s) should be (other than just smaller)?
