gaskets for rear axle - the gasket behind the bolts that hold in the axle
Hello eveyone,
I seem to have a rear end fluid leak coming on the inside of my rear tire. To address, I will change out the inner wheel seal, Part No. 710564 from Advance auto.
I did change the rear bearings recently which required this seal to be replaced. I remember that I had to either make a gasket or buy a gasket for the axle flange end, the very end of the axle that has the 8 bolts or so which keeps the axle onto the hub.
Does anyone know if they make this gasket or if I have make this my self?
If so, a part number / name / local store information would be great.
Thanks
Scott

Yes, they make a gasket. I used to get them from a local shop back when I lived in Iowa. Inland Truck Parts, google them to see if there is one by you. Id just tell them the truck or the axle I had and they could look them up. I have even cheated and used silicone. Dodge may have them too, but prob want $$$ and wont have them.
shouldn't be too hard of a part to find. Did you try Napa, Autozone, Etc.?

I used silicone on both, my front and rear differentials last time that I changed their fluids.. I just let it set for about 45 minutes or so before I put the cover and fluids back on and all is well...
I do my differentials and transfer case once a year, so I check it often..
you sure its not the pinion seal that's tossing out oil? or did I misunderstand that you did that one already...

The diff gaskets on these trucks are reusable. Did you get rid of yours and use ONLY silicone?
