352 Removal

[brucelotus26r]

I too am resealing my tc 365 trans it came apart pretty easily. New seals & O-rings from RD.
I installed the the new O-rings but they don't seam like they are sealing any thing?
Any ideas here?

Can you tell where the leak is coming from?

Did you seal the threads of the finned nut?

[brucelotus26r]

both axles are leaking pretty bad I think the seal are bad. I am replacing everything seals O-rings but the O-rings don't seam like they are going the do much?

without a diagram it is a bit tricky to describe.

The oil seals seal to the outside of the output shaft that are roll pinned onto the shaft. as these output shafts are only held on by the roll pins there is a route for the gearbox oil to seep along the splines. The o-ring seals this part of the shaft to stop this happening

hope this helps

The o-ring goes on the output half-shaft then the seal ring goes in.  You need to push (very) hard so that the o-ring pops into the o-ring groove in the seal ring.
