Default Re: Axle seal and bearing on '51 Merc

The seal is separate. The OEM part number for the seal is 0M-1177-A. There may be later P/N seals that will also work but it's likely for the 19-spline axles. These axles were used for less time with the 19 spline axle shafts but the later versions are still around.

A lot of the Dana 41 axles for the 1949 & early 50 model Mercs used many of the same parts as the later Dana 44 did but they had a smaller ring gear & differential case. They went to the Dana 44 for more versatility. This included the gearing for the Merc-O-Matic that came along in 1951.

They were mostly used in lighter trucks like the F1s & F100s but there are front axle versions for the 4WD applications and even the independent rear suspension version used in the old Jag XKE cars, Corvette cars, and Dodge Viper cars.
