Installation notes
Check the shaft for wear or scoring before fitting the new oil seal. A damaged shaft will cause the new seal to leak quickly. Fit the seal using a suitable installation tool to prevent misalignment. Optionally apply a thin coating of RTV silicone to the outer edge for additional sealing.
Compatibility
This is the oil seal for the late 9-5/8" differential. Early Dodge WC vehicles (up to circa 1943) had a smaller 8-3/4" differential with different seals. Check which type of differential is fitted to your vehicle before ordering.
Historical context
The larger 9-5/8" four-pinion differential was introduced from chassis number 81657582 (1943) on the Dodge WC 3/4 ton and later also on the 6x6 models, and remained in use post-war on civilian Power Wagons and M37 vehicles.
