Anyone have troubles with Moser 12 bolt axle seals? I had my Moser 12 bolt rebuilt recently at a reputable shop and they replaced the pass. side axle bearing/seal assy. twice for free and it still leaks very badly. I talked to them again and they said the tubes might be out of round, yeah right. So I call Moser and they say it's impossible and that the shop just didn't install them correctly. I'm going to try a NAPA bearing/seal myself and follow Moser's instructions and see what happens. I was just curious to see if there's anyone out there with some tips or tricks to make this seal work. Thanks,

try swapping axles side to side and see if the trouble follows the axle?I've had some weird axle seal troubles in the past with different vehicles...some really were a pain to get worked out.

:raises hand: I am a victim of leaky Moser 12 bolt axel seals- it makes an interesting smoke show on the rotors after slowing from 120+ mph
I need to cut the old bearing off and change the seal- its on my "too do list"

That's funny...I constantly have a "to do list" as well... Right now I have a 2 hour fuel pump replacement going on for months now because of time restrictions...haha. Thanks for the input.
