I took the back axle and drive line out of a 29 tudor which had been flooded for a week or so ,halfway up the windshield in fact . The vehicle had been in one family since new and had 76,000 miles on it . It had never been apart I would bet . There was no felt in the clam shell grooves just a tight fitting cork seal . I never have much success with those fluffy felt seals poked prodded greased etc etc etc I tried cork in my 28 phaeton and no leaks (yet !!!)
