[Healeys] Rear axle seal

[Warthodson at aol.com]

Before you remove the hub & bearing to replace the seal, try to verify  if 
that is the source of the leak of is it the gasketed joint between the hub  & 
axle. This a common source of leaks & easier to access than the seal.  Take a 
look at the "rear axle hub assembly" diagram in a shop manual.

I've  just noticed what appears to be a fluid leak coming from the right  rear
shaft on my BJ8. I haven't had to add any brake fluid, so I'm unsure  if it's
brake fluid or oil. If it's brake fluid, I'd expect a wheel  cylinder rebuild
would be in order, which wouldn't be big a deal, but but  what if it's an oil
seal? Is that a big deal to replace? TIA
