Steering box oil seal!

I am just rebuilding a steering box , to change over in the winter with one on the car , as a seal is weeping on it .
Went to put the new seal in and its too big

Seal come from SNG , part number 6415 , , numbers on the new seal are

0.75 1.25 0.25

old seal has no numbers !

SNG are looking in to it , anyone else had this problem ?

I bought mine from a local company, measured the shaft od in front of me, cheaper and quicker than to wait for a supplier to figure out why the one in their kits are wrong?

I do the same. Any of the bearing outlets are good. Paul

May end up doing that , but not free to do so till Monday , SNG can’t sale a part that don’t fit , it’s just frustrating to have to stop the job because of bad parts !

me to, as a benefit, sometimes much better quality seals are available.

this was the case for the output shaft seals in the diff, I purchased “double-lip viton”
they were about twice the price, but you really dont want a leak there

Well SNG only has that size seal , so don’t bother trying them if you need one

Martin robbery want £5 post on a 96p seal

Good job I am in no rush for it :smile:
