The DUKW seals for the inner wheel bearings are available NOS. Please do not
use the CCKW seals. Both seem to be in short supply and I have found no
replacements! The DUKW seal fits so tight on a CCKW that a CCKW seal on a DUKW
must be loose. The spindle has a different pn
The steering knuckle seal (ball) has a DUKW test of pressurizing the ball to 15
psi (as I recall) and it can't leak around the ball.
My experience with replacing the ball seal is that I can only do one side a
year. I just did my Chev Bomb truck and the steering wheel stays wherever you
leave it; i.e. it is VERY tight and tough to steer until it wears in a little.
It wipes so hard it will clean off all the grease and the ball will start
rusting in a couple of days on a CCKW. This is exactly what happened with my
CCKW a few years ago.
Hope this helps
Steve
