Overview
The Dana Spicer Dana 44 Inner Axle Seal, part 620216, seals the housing to the axle shaft and keeps gear oil in the axle tube. It is a single seal for one side only.
The seal fits the housing to the axle shaft and keeps gear oil in the axle tube. It covers front Dana 44 and GM 10 bolt 8.5 inch axles. It is not for 1978 to 1979 Ford Bronco and F-150 applications.
Key features
- Seals the housing to the axle shaft
- Single seal, one side only
- Dana 44 and GM 10 bolt 8.5 inch axle types
Replacing axle seals
An inner axle seal sits between the housing and the shaft, keeping gear oil in the axle tube and dirt out. Seal lips harden and wear over time, and a shaft that has been pulled may leave the seal riding on a worn surface. Inspect the seal bore and the shaft surface before fitting a new seal, and install it square to avoid a leak on the first drive.
Seals cost little compared with the work of pulling an axle, so replacing them with the shaft is a common practice. Use a seal driver rather than a hammer, keep the lip clean and fill the axle with the correct gear oil after installation.
- Clean the seal bore before installing the new seal
- Use a seal driver to set the seal square
- Check for leaks after the first few drives
