front axle seal leak

[tlflow]

I have had recurring front axle seal leak on passenger side. the inner axle was pitted pretty badly under the seal lip.
I used a Speedy Sleeve SKF99212 I had to make a 'tool' to install the little tool they supplied fits in a 2" NPT union sso you can cut off the end after you JB weld it in there. I also blued it and filed down the high spots. I smoothed and cleaned up the surface before the install but I'm a little too OCD and couldn't help myself

Also replaced the spindle bushing, since the load is carried there

That’s a wheel seal. Axle seal is generally inside the axle housing and seals against fluid running along the axle shaft and escaping in to the hub.

Looks like a nice install on the speedy sleeve!!

This is the inner axle seal surface, inside the axle housing, the other seal is on the spindle

Ah, I see it now! The wheel seal end is not visible in the photo. Thanks for the clarification!
