Reply With QuoteO. I received an A4 sheet of paper with instructions for installation.Originally Posted by sierrafery
there were no such instructions in my kit, actually there were no instructions at all just the kit in a nice box, the mud shields were in perfect conditions. the seals were fitted as they should be and as i said this leaking issue continues with new standard hardy spicer shafts too
If, the issue is caused by the inner diameter of the oil seal being too small, as per EvilGTV's post above, then regardless of what brand shafts you use the issue will occur as the oil seals seal on the shield part, not the shaft, which are the same for all.
I am going to try to get ahold of these NAK brand seals and test for myself.
... i bought the kit in 2001, maybe they've got some feedback and put instructions after that.... it's quite unfair imo to not put those mud shields from factory at that price 
... speaking about that, my mechanic was continuosly complaining that the seals seem thicker than they need to be and they rub against the mudshields even on the new standard shafts.... he tapped back a bit the shield on the RH side and it seems the leak is almost gone there... i'm programmed next week to him again for seal replacement and he'll do that both sides and we'll see.
... what i meant was that the seal seemed too thick and there was too much pressure between it and the mudshield ...like the shield pushed on the seal too hard into the axle if you see what i mean...sorry i cant explain better in english...since my mechanic tapped out(toward the joint) 1mm the right shield that seal seem to behave better
