Gear oil pouring out of spindle hub?

[jomichael]

This can't be good. Doing a 95 brake upgrade on my 91 and once I had the spindle cap off gear oil started flowing. It was fine on the passenger side. I assumed the seal was bad but it was in good shape. The birfs were changed about 2 years ago before my ownership. Noticed that the axle is worn where the seal rests, any ideas on fixes or do I need a new axle?

Just drive the seal deeper so it rides on a new place on the axel.
Witts End makes a seal driver just for this, but it can be accomplished with a socket the right size and a long extension.

Axle seal all the way. Check your axles for wear ridges and think about sleeving them if you have a line.

Thanks, I will give it a try!
