Dumb Dana 60 Questions

I'm doing the rear brakes on my 1970 F250 4 x 4 Dump. One side was heavily contaminated with oil. I am replacing the oil seal on the hub. Is there an inner seal between each axle and the differential? I am getting some oil dripping out of the axle housings after removing the axles. TIA, Mike


. What Jor said....ditto.

Nope, no inner seal. You'll get a little 90 weight out of the axle housing but not too much as long as your truck is on the level. Kinda makes you wish that thing was a 1/2 ton doesn't it? :-)

Good luck. jor ///////////////////////

Thanks, the job wasn't that bad, worst part is trying to find parts for this truck! I am restoring the parking brake function and running into a brick wall when it comes to cables and links. Looks like I have to do some modification and fabrication.
