Title: Dana 41 Hub Reassembly
Post by: LKap on January 09, 2017, 05:01:57 PM: I am in the middle of rebuilding my rear hubs. I have the new inner oil seals and bearings in and packed with grease. Shims, bearing retainer and backing plate installed as well. All that is left is the gasket - outer seal - gasket - cover. Do I need to use any kind of sealant between the gaskets? Dry? Permatex?

Thanks
