It's taken me awhile to feel like talking again. The second repair to the 'Leaking Rear Axles' on my 78 150 held for a few days then gave way.
I'd put black ATV sealant all around the seal itself, all around the inside of the axle housing where it sits, on the outside where the axle flange pulls it all against the axle housing flange and on the new gasket I put between the brake backing plate and axle flange. This is after having the old bearing and seal removed, new ones reseated and my first reinstallation a month ago.
So now all I can think of doing is to pull it and put MORE and A LOT of this or maybe another sealant and try it again.
Thought I'd let those of you who tried so much to help know what was going on and thank you again for all your advice.
