Re: Replacing Wheel Seals need some info Reply #20 – January 24, 2015, 01:57:40 pm After crawling under the coach yesterday to get the axle number I noticed the rotor had gear oil all over it. Thus the brake pads have oil all over them too I assume. Anyone know the part number for front pads on a 99 U270?Mark Quote Selected
Re: Replacing Wheel Seals need some info Reply #21 – January 24, 2015, 02:24:16 pm Mark, Pads may not have oil on them. Disc brakes are not like drums where oil will be retained in the drum. I would take them apart and look at the pads before I went to the expense of buying new pads.Gary B Quote Selected
Re: Replacing Wheel Seals need some info Reply #22 – January 24, 2015, 02:29:42 pm Thanks Gary. I don't know how the pads could be dry with oil on the rotor. I will have to take a closer look.I noticed these pads on ebay. New Meritor Kit adb Lining KIT15615PM | eBayI wonder if this could be my pads. Need to do some more searching I guess.Mark Quote Selected

Re: Replacing Wheel Seals need some info Reply #27 – January 31, 2015, 07:58:20 pm Just finished installing the first (leaker) seal today. I have learned a ton in my research and it all went pretty smoothly. The next one will be either tomorrow or during the week. I will take some pictures of the other side while being done. Would there be any interest in my making a repairing a leaking wheel seal post with pictures and info? I used Stemco Voyager seals and a Stemco Pro-Torq axle nut. Got the adjustment down to 3 thousands. Installed helper springs and cleaned the oily pad. It was not too bad at all. I wanted to say thanks for all the input especially Stump.Mark Quote Selected
Re: Replacing Wheel Seals need some info Reply #28 – January 31, 2015, 08:07:56 pm Mark, speaking for myself I would appreciate the post. While I have done plenty of axle seals, not with air disc. Nice to know what to expect when the time comes.Jerry Quote Selected
