front axle seal for series I cars

Hello Ross,

Attached a comparison table between the front suspension parts for 400 (Carb) and 400i. Other than the sealing ring you have mentioned a number of parts are different (in terms of part numbers at least), the first of which the Koni shock absorber itself (part 1), but also the hub (part 13).

Your car with chassis number 39577 falls in the category "before" the chassis number 42705, therefore the category of the 400 (Carb).

Assuming the shock absorber on your car is Koni 82 T-1824 SP 2, I would suggest that part n° 101219 is the sealing ring you are searching.

Hope this helps.

 

Hello Ross,

Here is the reference from Maranello Classic Parts for 110150:

https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/Diagram/ferrari/400-gt---400-auto/042-front-suspension-shock-absorber?part=110150

This appears to be the same part regardless of the set-up.

The description 48/72/12 I would think is Inner Diameter/Outer Diameter/Thickness of the ring, all in mm.

 

Hello Ross or others on this thread - any advice on how to remove the metal ring that covers these inner seals and bearings? I'm working on a 512 BBi which has the same setup, and am trying to avoid damaging the rings. Thank you for any help!

 

Good day Robert,

These seals are a friction fit to the inner hub. I removed them fairly easily using a flat end punch and lightly tapped the slightly raised ends in various spots (every 90 degrees)... They came off in perhaps 10-20 seconds.

Cheers,

Sam

 

Sam, Thank you very much! That's great help - it sure seemed like the only solution but absent some advice I feared damaging a part that is difficult to replace at best. I really appreciate the quick and on-the-money reply. Bob

 

Good day Robert,

You are most welcome! Indeed, sometimes the solution is the immediate one... but it is always best to check, as you never know if there is something unknown and needs to be considered.
Anyway, I am glad I could help!
Cheers,
Sam
