Before you remove the hub & bearing to replace the seal, try to verify if
that is the source of the leak of is it the gasketed joint between the hub &
axle. This a common source of leaks & easier to access than the seal. Take a
look at the "rear axle hub assembly" diagram in a shop manual.

I've just noticed what appears to be a fluid leak coming from the right rear
shaft on my BJ8. I haven't had to add any brake fluid, so I'm unsure if it's
brake fluid or oil. If it's brake fluid, I'd expect a wheel cylinder rebuild
would be in order, which wouldn't be big a deal, but but what if it's an oil
seal? Is that a big deal to replace? TIA
