I fitted new bearings to my 9" when I modified it to fit my hot rod. I just noticed yesterday oil is leaking from one end. Been happening for a while as there is oil inside the wheel and all over the disc brake and caliper.
Today I pulled the half shaft, hoping it was leaking around the outside of the bearing, but no, it looks like it is coming out around the seal. The shaft looks to be really roughly machined where the outer seal runs too.
The inner seal looks good, but hard to tell really.
I've put it back together, with silicon around the outside of the bearing, so time will tell if I've fixed anything.
