I am working on my new to me Ford 850. First job is to replace axle seals and brakes. The left drum was pretty clean. The right drum was loaded with grease. After pulling the axles I found that the right axle had a Sure Seal on the back of it where the rubber had delaminated from the metal can.
From everything I have read, the Sure Seal is only used as an alternative to replacing the outer seal on 2N, 9N and 8N tractors...not the 800 series.
I pulled the Sure Seal off. Was planning to just go ahead and replace the inner seals (inside the hub) and put the axles back in.
I just don't know why that Sure Seal would have been on there. It makes me concerned that I need to cut off the collar and remove the bearing and replace the outer seals.
Can anyone help me with what is proper steps?
