3B thanks for the reply. Nothing wrong with the bearing or components just wanted to verify the design for sealing purposes.

Hot Rod Lincoln that is interesting to hear about the outer seal . The bearings in the hub assembly were in great shape so I don't want to be messing with the original assembly, the oil looks to be doing the job.

78 buckshot. Thanks Eh ! I will keep an eye on things and follow the service manual so this race is seated well to the spindle.
