Overview
The Omix-ADA 16727.03 is a 4-piece axle drive flange gasket kit for 6-bolt front hubs. It fits early Jeep CJ models, the Jeepster, Commando, Gladiator, Wagoneer, J-series trucks and Willys vehicles from 1941 to 1974.
It is a direct OE replacement built to the original Jeep specifications and carries a limited five year warranty from Omix-ADA. The kit is for the front position and holds four pieces, so a front hub can be resealed from a single kit.

Resealing a front hub
A flange gasket seals the axle drive flange to the hub, keeping lubricant in and water and dirt out. Leaks at this joint usually show as grease on the inside of the wheel or on the flange face. Before fitting new gaskets, clean both mating surfaces thoroughly and remove any old sealant or paper residue, since a damaged surface can leak even with a new gasket.
Gaskets are often replaced together with the hub seals and flange bolts, especially on a vehicle with high mileage or repeated water crossings off-road. Check the bolts for stretch or corrosion and replace any that look weak. Re-torque the flange fasteners after the first short drive, because the joint can settle as the new gaskets seat.
