Timken 710497 Front Axle Shaft Seal: Superior Performance and Durability Review

This product is perfect for those seeking a reliable and sturdy front axle shaft. I appreciated the precision in crafting this heavy-duty element, making it ideal for handling commercial vehicles or other automotive projects that require top-notch materials. The only downside may be the price, which is higher than other options on the market, but you get what you pay for in terms of performance and durability.

Fits perfectly on my 2005 Chevy 9.25 front diff. The rubber was nice and strong and sealed the axle shafts perfectly. Easy installation. Front axle to do some work on the brackets and replace them at the same time. Removing the old ones took longer than installing the new ones. I tapped the new ones with a mallet. but so far so good.

Will fit. The old seal was a real bear. Got the correct industrial seal/bearing with a 10lb hammer puller and it still wouldn't budge. Tap it out from the back of the connector body with a long brass punch. The camp did too as it was out of order. As a side note, my case was still leaking because the drive shaft had tire corrosion in just the right place. Plan for the worst and you won't be surprised.
