Differential side yoke seal size?
Before I pull the diff out again can someone please help me out with the size of the seals? I put new seals in that were supplied from a vendor but for some reason there is black material coming off them and they are leaking. There are industrial bearing and seal suppliers locally so my preference is to buy known brand replacement seals from them if possible. Side yoke surface where the seal works was perfect and I applied lube to them on assembly so I'm sure they weren't torn up. PIA having to pull the thing out again.

I used 85/90W conventional LSD oil. Its not leaking around the outside of the seal I put them in with hi temp gasket sealer. I haven't seen seals that you could rub you finger across the rubber part and all of the black comes off on your finger. Also the pinion seal is fine.

The axle seal from CR is #13562 according to my files, I am not in the shop today to pull one off the shelf but that is the number on my part list. However, that might be a typo on my number since 13569 does seem to come up on my NAPA account. Important Info: "0.313 Width; 1.375 Shaft Diameter; 2.000 Bore Diameter; 2.004 Outside Diameter Seal"
