Description
The
type 14 HU final drive assembly is a hypoid unit with th
e pinion arranged on the cross-car centerline. The driveshaft
coupling utilizes a cassette type pinion oil seal, which is an in tegral part of the pinion flange. This type of seal cannot be
separated from the pinion fl ange and therefore may only be renewed as a complete seal / flange assembly
The axle shafts are driven by the output flanges which rotate on sealed bearings , these assemblies being retained in the
final drive unit by circlips.
