So, a search of the 10,807 messages I still keep on my machine (Yes, really.) indicated that I asked the same questions in 2009.
In 9 years has anything changed? Are there new seals that are the bees knees? I don’t think that I need new bearings as the miles are low enough.
Just to be sure I need to:
Undo the retaining screw
Lever the axle out and free of the hub
Undo lock washer
Undo hub nut
Jury rig a device to pull hub
Pull out seal
Install new seal
Reinstall hub, lock washer,nut (Any tips welcome, all the video shows work with rear end removed from car.)
Install new “O” ring
Install new paper gasket
Install axle
Congratulate myself on a job well done?
