Applications

Tech Note 1: Verify Wheel Seal
For some years and models, there may be two sizes of wheel seals available for the same axle family depending upon the axle rating. QU50271 is made to fit axles with 1.622" diameter axle shafts (about 1-5/8").

Tech Note 2: Axle Shaft Removal
To remove the axle shafts on semi-float rear axles, you need to remove the differential cover, unscrew the Cross Shaft Lock Bolt, and pull out the diff cross shaft from the differential. Next, push the axle shafts in far enough to completely expose the axle c-clips, remove the c-clips, and then pull the axle shafts out of the housing.

Tech Note 3: Before Installation
Both the Seal Lip and Bearing Rollers must be greased to provide initial lubrication.
