Need to rebuild my D70. Need help...........

The stupid D70 is leaking out both hubs. I got the pinion seal replaced and now it leaved little puddles dripping from the drums. It had new bearings and all put in like 10k miles ago by Just Brakes.

What all will I need to fix it right and hopefully not have to mess with it again?

Am I missing something or are these D70's not as strong as I thought.

I would check to make sure the axle vent isn't plugged. If it is it creates pressure in the housing, pushing oil past the seals. The vent is in the hollow bolt that holds the brake line on the axle tube. If you need a rebuild these places have what you need:

I thought mine was bulletproof then I broke it

I don't think they are as tough people say they are IMO

The Pinion is the weak link
