"Guys:
I am concerned about
"Guys:
I am concerned about the 20 year age of the two outer oil seals on the prop shaft of my Alpha 1 and am considering replacing them. My concern arises from the condition of the oil seal I just replaced that is attached to the lower half of the water pump impeller housing--the seal was considerably worn when compared to the new one.
The OEM manual calls for installing both of them with Loctite #27131, a high strength adhesive per Loctite's website. The inner seal is just rubber and the outer seal is steel and rubber. I can't find a small tube of it locally. Has anyone successfully used an alternative?
Thanks, Guy"
