yorkiesB-80 0 #1 Posted December 13, 2010 I notice a small amount of play when i jacked up my b-80 to fix the tire chains i was in stalling , the right side axile was sliding a little bit from the gear box and i could see a slight amount of oil on the floor , im thinking there must be a seal there that is gone. I checked the oil in the rear end and it was fine should be concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,301 #2 Posted December 13, 2010 As long as the play is in and out, no more than about 1/16" to 1/8", and not up and down, you probably just have a bad seal. Keep a piece of cardboard under it, and note how much oil you are losing. If it is significant, you may have to pull the hub and replace the seal. If the play is up and down, that would indicate a bearing failure which will require cracking open the tranny. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
