<p>Mike,</p>
<p>The bearings are lubricated with the rear axle oil. No grease.
Oil flows between the axle shaft and the axle housing to around to
the bearing. Yes, the paper gasket has to be oil tight. The oil
seal keeps the oil from lubricating the brake shoes.<br>

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.
