Anyway, anybody got any ideas why the torque tube I have has such a small diameter??Any tips on getting the seal into the tube ???
My guess is GM was in the transition process of changing Torque Tube I.D. from older to newer.
If you are not going to use the Okie Bushing, and you are going use the original setup.
There are special tool to install the oil seal and bushings.
I would go with the rubber oil seal.
The tool is a Kent-Moore J-968 Propeller Shaft Bushing and Oil Seal Replacer.
