First thing is to check the hub itself. Many times the hub have burrs

the edges that can keep the hub and axle from seating properly and making a
good seal. If there are burrs just lightly file the edges flat with the
hub
face.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If the bearing surface on the stub axle ends (where the seals ride) are
scored then filing them will not do the job and you will still get leaking
into the brakes. You can restore the sealing surface by installing a
speedi-sleeve which is driven on over the stub. It is just slightly smaller
in OD
than the the original and will restore the effectiveness of the hub seal.
