Re: Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15

The inner axle seals didn't leak as far as I knew but since I had it down this far, I figured if I put it back together without changing them, they'd start leaking. So I changed them.

I will say, I did have a mental block towards pulling the carrier. Ive never pulled one out for fear of messing it up. It came out pretty easy. It looks as though someone sprayed it with epoxy or paint at some point. Guess some people have a bigger OCD than I do for painting things.

I will say the axle tube were NASTY! Coated with a mixture of sand, water, gear oil and dirt, it took a couple of hours to clean them out with a 3/4" pipe and rags.
