[Larry Wendland]

Phil, First thing that come to mind is that they put the lip seal in backwards.

Hi all,
6 months ago my local garage replaced the seal on the O/S rear axlewhich was weeping slowly. When I took the wheel and drum off todayeverywhere was covered in oil from a major leak. Previously the garagereplaced the oil seal, bearing, bearing spacer, hub lock washer and thepaper 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
