Rear Axle Collars

Post by David53 »

I had oil leaks from both rear seals so I fitted new ones (early MM style rear axle). After only a few hundred miles the LH side has started weeping a little again. I was wondering about the collars on the axle - these seem to turn independently of the shaft on the RH side, but on the LH side the collar turns with the shaft. are these collars meant to spin or stay still? Looking at the inside of the drum there is a chamfered recess for the collar to press into which I presume will spin them anyway? Anyone know much about this?
