What preventive maintenance should be done on the rear axle?

You don't have to replace the hub seal if it's in good shape. You can pop it off by leaving the hub adjuster or lock nut on the spindle, and pulling the hub towards you. Inner bearing and hub seal will come out.Byron,
The hub seal will have to be replaced when you pack the wheel bearings. I feel the same way about the rear axle seals as the front; use OEM seals.
