So after I wiped off the grit, I noticed that the inside of the housing is painted red. Bearing holders and all. Is that normal? It's hard to tell, but the outside may have once been red too. I have a feeling it's been gone through before and noticed the lack of a cotter pin on the pinion nut.
Everything seems tight and I found no metal -just a lot of dirt, some of it no doubt from the flooding. But my replacement pinion seal is a little different than the one I took out. The new one appears the same from the outside, but the old one also has a metal case on the inside. Pictures are of the inside/outside of both with the new one on the right. -The distortion was caused during removal so pay no attention to that. The new seal fits more snuggly on the flange and looks like it will fit into the housing. Does it look like I have the proper seal?
