Leaking axle seals


Am having an ongoing problem with leaking rear axle seals on all three 60 pontiacs. The only axle bearings we we can get in New Zealand are MBS RW307ER. We can't get replacement seals for these bearings so have to buy a new bearing. Some of these seals are leaking after around 1000 miles.( have tried shortening the tension spring which helps for a while.) I believe the bearings used on the Canadian Pontiacs or Chevs is RW607NR with replacement seals available?. Is there an inner seal available that fits on the diff side of the bearing to keep the oil away from the bearing seal. Any help would be appreciated.

NAPA part numbers for a 60 Pontiac, if that helps

 UBS18536 Wheel Seal - Rear WheelPolice Car or Taxi

UBS19012 Wheel Seal - Rear WheelExcept Police Car or Taxi

 

I dont see the bearing listed....Maybe a sealed bearing the same size as yours would work better

 

BTW...You arent overfilling the rear end gear oil are you?

Make sure the vent is not plugged with dirt or just stuck closed.
