Need a quick diagnosis please... on iPhone so hard to do research from "the field"!

Anyway, got a leak from rear axle, mix of ep90 and grease. Back of brake disk soaked....

Sounds like you have got one or more oil seals that have gone. Check the breather to make sure it's clear or it will try and push out more oil.

Maybe I missed a seal when I did my bearing yesterday. I only put one on inner of hub, are there others? (I did do paper gasket...)

Does anyone have a decent diagram of the rear hub assembly? Haynes sux and microcat won't work on 64-bit windows 7

So, do we reckon it's the inner oil seal on the hub?

Looks like I damaged my hub when parting it from the brake disk :-(

ho hum

the stub axle took a beating when the bearing collapsed so will need to change that too. Any tips on getting the big bolts loose?
