    hub seal

    righto i have been having troubles with my drivers side rear hub seal.....just fitted a new one and have driven around the block and no leaks woohoo

    the new stubb axle that i fitted last time round (6mths ago) is in perfect nick, the old seal after i knocked it out of the hub slid over the stub axle with no effort...buggered

    i put the new seal in using the drive flange to set the depth.....thats to the forum members who suggested this

    gave the bearings a lick of grease as i have maxi axles fitted and need to wait til the oil works it way out

    will see how long it lasts

    bad news, discovered one of the poly airs has a hole in itwill start a new thread on this one

    was the buggered one double-lipped?

    Checked the breather isn't blocked? (unlikely if it breathes through the MD cylinder)
