So I have a pretty good amount of fluid running down the back of the dust shield on my rear passenger side axle. Figure it must be the seal is shot. Does anyone know the part number off hand for this seal? Called autozone, advance auto, etc and they only have front seals so I am going to have to order online. Saw a few different seals on the site and just want to get the part number so I get the right one.

 

how about some truck info to go off of hard to help with any vehicle info

 

I just did that job, driver side, on Sunday... 04 1500 ram with the corporate rear (9.25" ring).

NAPA had one that looks just like factory (complete with lip), for about $8.

part number is..
skf 16139

I removed all the brakes on that side, pulled the diff cover, removed the retaining bolt, removed the bar that locks the axles in place, pushed the axle inward from brake side, then pulled the c-clip from the axle... then pulled the axle out. Remove the seal...
my favorite tool for pulling that seal...

I used a gasket rather than RTV, seals fine, quick and clean. part number RDS 55073, advanceauto had it in stock.

someone posted decent instructions here:

If your axle seal is leaking make sure to check your rear axle vent line. Often times it plugs up and your axle an't breath, since your seals are the next weakest piece, they blow out.
