[Healeys] Leaking rear axle hub (BT7) following recent installation of new seal!

[philip fish]

Hi all,
6 months ago my local garage replaced the seal on the O/S rear axle which
was weeping slowly. When I took the wheel and drum off today everywhere was
covered in oil from a major leak. Previously the garage replaced the oil
seal, bearing, bearing spacer, hub lock washer and the paper gasket. There
is no O-ring on this model.

Does anybody have any ideas what might have gone wrong? I assume the seal
has completely failed. Any helpful advice I can pass onto the garage?

Phil
