Several questions here as I can't seem to find the answer in the TM and/or don't know the right words to search for on the forum...
1. Why is there grease on the INSIDE of the drum assembly?

2. Similar to #1, why was there grease on the spindle (the yellow)? I can't ascertain as to WHAT they were greasing (just catching dust?), and with the previous army mechanic's finger marks in the grease still visible, it couldn't have actually been touching anything...

This TM says to remove the grease from the spindle (step 3):

3. I purchased a seal & boot kit similar to (just without the gaskets)

I've replaced the inner-axle oil seal (the one that separates the U-joint from the axle tube):

I've replaced this seal for the inner bearing,

But where does the "third" seal go?
I obviously don't understand the terminology here as I don't see the TM talking about it (I'm reading in the Maintenance TM, part 2, "TM9-2320-209-20-3-2"), and I can't find pictures for it both here and numerous other folk's threads.
Thanks!
