Hi all

Would EP90 leaking from the rear hub indicate that both the inner and outer
hub seals (and seal track spacer ?) would require replacing?

Regards
Jeff

I should have said that the breather is OK, and it is an early Disco.

With my 90, after changing the axle bresther and buying the bits to replace
the seals I found it was simply the axle end caps that had rotted (they are
push on plastic domes on a 90), the seals keep in the wheel bearing grease
not the EP90.

I should have said that it is a Disco that has a 'normal' inner and outer
seal, one each side of the bearing.

In a word - yes! It's usually the inner seal that's the problem.

So has a 90 to keep in the bearing grease, and it has those damn plastic end
caps on the axle that let out the axle oil when they rot/crack.
