My rear hub oil seal started leaking badly after getting the engine fixed.Usual thing inner bearing had fell apart.So changed seal and both bearings...Fark me done less than 500 miles and the rear seal is ****ing out grease again !
Is it me doing something wrong or do they do this reglear ?

did yer fit a noo drive-member gaskit?
did yer over-pack wiv grease?
is yer inner oil seal gone?
is yer axle breeva blocked?
was it a ****part seal?

What is the condition of the stub axle that the oil seal runs on?

A little (preferably red rubber) grease on the inner lip of the seal can help until all the bearing grease has been spread around.

Definately check axle breathers. Use geniune seals
