CV Shaft Seal : Spinning in housing

Heya, I just finished my wheel bearing. Funny thing is my truck has 200 000 Canadian kms on it. My wifes piece of shit garbage VW has 115k. I had two bearings go on her car. Took me all god damn day to do each one.

Taco ... Easy. Every bold and nut came undone with no drama.

But after I was done I noticed the seal I put in spun in the housing. Now this shouldn't happen. It had occurred to me that the old sleeve was hard to get out and this went in just to easy. Chock it up to shitty aftermarket parts I guess.

I tried roughing up the mating surfaces and peening. Still no dice. For the moment I just epoxied a bit on the outside to keep it from moving for a few days. But I need a better permanent solution when the replacement sleeve comes in.

I was thinking Sleeve loctite. Ive used it in differentials and other bearing bits when ive done work where the outer housing doesn't want to keep from spinning and eating itself.

Thoughts?

 

Get the OEM seal. You’ll spend more $$ in glues that may or may not work

 

Jesus they are only 12$ from toyota eh..

 

Make sure you buy both. There’s 2 inner seals per side.

 

Theres an O ring and A seal. This is the one im talking about.

Just to clarify, I used a bearing assy, which has an already assembled hub. So the only seal I had to replace myself was on the back half of the upright where the CV goes in. There is already a new seal on the hub itself.

I have to determine which seal is which though. Toyota always had horrible descriptions.

There’s 1 seal that pounds into the inner side of the knuckle and 1 seal that pounds on the outside of the outer CV joint. 2 lines of defense against water intrusion.

 

OH I see what you mean. I never did the seal that is attached to the CV joint. Only the one that was supplied and seats on the knuckle. Thats the one rotating. Trying to get the part number.

Nope https://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com/oem-parts/toyota-outer-seal-9031296001

heres our guy

90304-A0001 for the CV seal


27$. Sounds about right for OEM.

Cant seem to find the one for the CV axle. ITs in good shape though so ill probably leave it.

I would still do the seal on the CV joint too. Someone posted on here that you can use the old knuckle seal as a driver for the CV seal and the old CV seal as a driver for the knuckle seal. I’ve never tried it though. I used stuff I had laying around the shop for drivers.

 

I dont think the part number I listed is correct. Fisch reads like its before the Knuckle. Part I need is after.

Thats where i got the info thanks

 

Just an update. I got the toyota oem part in. It actually took some effort to get it in the housing unlike the cheapie version. So the takeaway is, get oem seals.
