Checked through my spares collection and I didn't have a new seal, so will buy some new one's when the shops reopen after Christmas.
I re-greased the bearings and refitted and re-installed the seal as a temporary fix.
When I get 2 new seals, I service both sides.
The pintle hook ring didn't swivel, so I removed it to see what was going on.
It's been welded so it remains fixed. I could fix it, but decided not too as I have a swivel pintle hook anyway.
So, refitted the ring.
Onto the next job.
