Hello!

While changing the rotors and brakes we noticed that right, rear hub was leaking oil. I haven't heard any noises that would suggest a bearing is bad. I looked to see if I could find a replacement hub online and they only sell the front hubs. I looked up videos on if the seal could be replaced and all I can find are videos on replacing the bearing or the differential seal. Is it possible to change a seal on the rear hub?

Good afternoon,

Can you upload a picture of the rear hub for me to view? I believe the seal is part of the housing.

I attached a picture of the seal.

It's not possible at this time to get a picture, but when we pulled the rotor off, the hub and everything around it was covered in grease.
