Pinion Seal - Salisbury Axle seals the nose of the pinion shaft at the front of the Salisbury differential housing, where the propshaft coupling flange mounts to the pinion.

It retains the hypoid gear oil within the final drive and prevents leakage around the rotating pinion shaft. The seal is pressed into the front face of the differential housing and runs on the outer diameter of the pinion shaft.

Frequently asked questions

What does Pinion Seal AEU2515 seal on the Salisbury axle?

The AEU2515 is the pinion shaft oil seal pressed into the front face of the Salisbury differential housing. It retains the hypoid gear oil and prevents leakage around the pinion shaft at the propshaft flange end. Replace it when oil weeps from around the propshaft yoke or when the differential is disassembled for overhaul.

Which models does Pinion Seal AEU2515 fit?

It fits Series III 109" wheelbase (rear Salisbury axle, all engines) and the 109" 1-Ton front Salisbury axle (2.25L and 2.6L 6-cyl petrol). It also fits Defender 110 and 130 (1983-2006) Salisbury rear axle up to VIN WA159806. Defenders above VIN WA159806 use a revised axle arrangement.

What causes the Salisbury axle pinion seal to leak?

Pinion seal failure typically results from hardening and cracking of the seal lip with age, contamination of the seal running surface, or wear scoring on the pinion shaft nose. Oil leaking from the propshaft flange area usually indicates a failed pinion seal. Incorrect pinion bearing pre-load can also accelerate seal wear.

Is there a gasket needed alongside Pinion Seal AEU2515?

Yes. The Salisbury pinion also uses a static gasket between the pinion bearing retainer and the axle casing. Part 607183 is listed as a cross-reference and covers the axle pinion gasket for this application. Both items may be needed for a complete pinion seal replacement depending on which seal type your axle uses.
