72 eaton rear axle leak
Have replaced both the bearing and the race and tryed two new axle seals and the stupid thing still starts ti leak in a few days time. It does appear to have some grooves on the surface where the bearing/seal ride on.Almost looks like a bearing seized on the axle and spun some grooves on the spindle.My question is this
 oes the spindle bolt on to the axle housing,Or is it welded on.????? Iam new to this game, and hope someone can point me in the right direction.If it does bolt on ,where can a replacement be found? Am I going to have to start looking for another rear-end  HELP!

The spindle is welded on, if it keeps being a problem I would look for a new axle or housing possibly having a machine shop weld it and recut. Probably cheaper to get a new axle. My opinion anyway

I was afraid of that.I was unsure about the spindle being bolted on.From looking at it,it appears it is welded on.But I thought I read some where that the spindle bolted on.
