Thanks Bob. I won't argue!. Do I need any special tool to remove the seal? One other thing, if the bearing are suppose to be lubricated with rear diff fluid why the seal is behind them on the back of the hub?!
Also on below pictures how can you tell the shoes have been contaminated wityh brake fluid of rear diff fluid? I know it sound stupid but I can't say. The wheel cylinder looks in good shape and I don't see any evidence of fluid around the two end of it but there is this sticky smear on it's body!!!. Also the smear on the shoes are sticky and it doesn't have any particular smell to it.
