Does this have a ball or tapered ball bearing?
Sometimes the outer race wears away the housing causing the tapered bearing
to gain end play. This end play allows the axle to move up and down exceeding
the flexability of the seal.
Also if the garter spring falls off the seal it will leak. Garter springs
can come off when the seal is pounded in.
