Mine was leaking and fixed it with a mate.  Getting the 15mm nut off the pinion flange was the hardest bit cos of the loctite.  When it was removed I heard a hiss - so checked the breather banjo on the top of the axle and found it was blocked  :shock: - this caused the seal to go :cry: . Cleaned it out , replaced the seal and all is now fine.
 :D

Range Rover Blues:
That's a good point, check the breather first.  It may be all that's needed.
I fitted 3 sets of hub seals (and new stub axle) before I realised what was going on.  Best lessons hardest learned!

Colin 009:
Good point Dave have been meaning to exstend breathers so will check there first.
