[Healeys] BN2 back axle

[mike brooks]

Can someone explain how the hub oil seals are meant to work. They are inbord of the hub bearings. Are the hubs meant to be packed with grease? ( the service manual suggests they should, but the same manual doesn't tell you to pack the hub with grease when changing hub bearings and seals). Is the back axle oil intended to pass across the oil seal to the hub bearing? If so, then the paper gasket in the hub flange to half-shaft joint will need to be oil tight.
Thanks in advance for any help.
