 Does anyone know if I can replace the rear axle seal which fits into the rear bearing without removing the bearing retainer? If I need to break and remove the retainer where can I buy the retainer only? Or better yet, can someone give me retainer dimensions so I can make a couple?

www.coopersvintage.com  sells the retainers, seals, and bearings separately, but their catalog only lists up to 1964, 1965 may be the same, contact them.

  The rear axle was changed in late 1964. But the rear wheel seal stayed the same. Example National Seal Co. number 5589 fits 1957-69 All except CC, Limo and Eldorado.Warren
