I was going to change the seal and when I got the old seal out the pinion shaft wobbles all over. This is not right is it? So I have another axel but it has smaller brakes and I just bought all new parts for the 3 1/2 inch brakes. Do I swap in another chunk or swap the whole axel and then change to the bigger brake backing plates? The donor is a 741. I know not ideal but it is what I have. Also the seal I got at Car Quest is part number 5126. A moog part. It fits the pinion shaft but not the housing. The counter guy told me this was the bigger of the two he could get. Thanx in advance all. boogie I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.
