I need help....

[memetriker]

I have a trike I have been working on for a year now and It's almost done. We started doing the rear brakes and now we have problems. Had an axle seal leaking so I went to M. A. Motorworks and picked up an axle seal kit for a 67 swing axle. fits 46 - 67 swing axle.
When I got the hub off that holds the seal I find out it does not have the little drain holes at the bottom. Took it to only local vw shop and was told it was from a 68 IRS axle. Since then I found out they were from 58-64 hubs.

Now I need to ID this unit to figure out what to replace. The numbers on the side (stamped in) are: 4891188.
Also, I pulled the other drum off to find a puddle of gear oil in that side as well. I need to know if I should start looking for the right seal retaining hubs or if the seals are the same?
I'm stumped.....:Shrug:

I guess you found the answer?

Saltydwg, I ended up changing the seals on both sides, put the shoes and hardware back on, put on the Super Beetle front wheel cylinders (on the rear of my trike for better stopping power), tried putting on the drums but that wasn't happening. The larger wheel cylinders made the shoes to far apart. I have now put new rear cylinders on and the drum fits fine, just like it supposed to.
After that, I put on the castle nuts as far as I could by hand and was able to get the pins in. I don't think it is right. If I tighten it to 217# I think the drum will be up against the backing plate.
Going to put the tires on, let it down and try to torque the drums down. I will then put it back up on jack stands and see if they turn at all. If they are locked up, it is back to the drawing board. I'm thinking I need to find the seal retaining hubs that have the drain hole in them. They are just a little deeper and have that extra washer outside of the seal. Might be just the right thickness then to tighten those drums to 217#.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
