    Pinion Flange Seal Replacement

    Moving on Well took three tries and got the correct seal, the Green barring seal is twice the weight of the other, and from Ohio, could be USA made, not indicated on the box. You can clearly see the spring inside holding the rubber tight. Will work on that this week, The old Triumph...

    Pinion Flange Seal Replacement

    Received Seal Well, received my pinion seal from our host, as ordered, quick, it's amazing for five bucks, Taiwan can make, and ship for cheaper then if you can find US made items. Some US made on the net were selling for over 50 bucks, of course them are made by grownups, making a decent...
