Leaking Wheel Bearing Fix

Bearing seal looks fine
[img][/img]
Removed seal spring - no tension at all

Look for the joint in the spring & twist undone

Cut down the spring

Check spring size - refit - hopefully fix leak

Refit with Hylomar - bearing & retaining plate

I've just replaced my rear bearing because of a failed seal - this has got to be worth a try!

I stood there looking at a new bearing with less than 200 mile on it,
Just could'nt see anything wrong with it..

I could see the oil had come through - past the seal - not around it..

Small screwdriver - popped out the spring no tension on it..

Re-set the spring tension - if this dont work i give up ..

Thought you may like this suggestion Dave..
