Got one for you rearend Gurus. I can't seem to stop the 90 wt. from getting into my axle tube. It's a Winters alum. housing with Coleman floating hubs. I replaced the seals in the inner axle tubes with high end aluminum units with the three orings outers and double lip inner seals, but I still get a small amount of lube in the right side tube, which in turn leaks out of the Coleman hubs and on to my Forgelines. I have spoken to Coleman and I'm using what they recommended. Anybody ran into this and have a suggestion?
Thanks
Mike

Guess I am the only one to ever run into this problem.

Do you have a breather on the rear?

Not sure I follow you. The Coleman hubs have inner and outer seals. You mean some sort of seal between my inner housing seal and the hub? And do you know how much bleed by would be normal? Is any 90 wt. in the tube OK?

Yeah, I went alittle overboard on the venting to try and stop the bleed by. I have a Moroso canister mounted up in the quarterpanel fed by a -6AN.
