My question is -- why go to all the expense of having the hubs rebuilt and
then skimp on the cheapest part of the whole job? My rule of thumb is:
while its apart, replace everything that wears, rubs, moves, or otherwise
has a known "life span". This gets more important as the difficulty of
getting at the part increases. That would make the replacement of the
seals absolutely MANDATORY in my opinion.
