I'm just (hopefully) tidying up the leaks at the front and back of the torque tube on my 3600.
I've stripped the shaft ready for new bearing and oil seal at the back end and am just curious about what I found where the oil seal sits - the photo should make it clearer.
So working along the shaft toward the front of the truck, there's the splined section, then the lock ring, then the bearing, then a snap ring in a groove, and then what appears to be a sleeve that the oil seal runs on. I was wondering if the sleeve is the original fitment or if its a previous repair for damage to the shaft from an old seal?
Tomorrows first job is to work out if the front bushing is good to go again - hopefully so as I haven't seen these bushings available.
