    Hub seals, and now how to keep it sealed.....

    G'day guys and gals,
    Re the diagram in this link:
    Convert RR+Disco Wheel Bearings to Oil Lubed?

    What do you do about the rubber end cap?????

    Is there a drive flange off another model, or are all the 24 spline diffs doomed to having half a condom on the ends?

    And thanks to Dougal fro reminding me to ask!

    If I do this to a 24spline disco front end, do I lose any oil out the rubber cap on the drive flange?

    They just don't seem that oil-tight.

    A good quality oil resistant Silicone product is your best friend. We use A Wurth product, expensive but is fantastic. We reseal Tdi sumps with it too.

    I converted my 24 spline front end and I still use the rubber end caps without sealant. They haven't leaked yet.
