Don’t forget to replace the shoes as well. They will be soaked with gear oil if it’s already getting out onto the wheel... use oem parts and check behind the abs sensor a few hundred miles after the repair to make sure they did it right... or at least look for that symptom that indicates they may not have.

Those oily shoes will possibly stick and lock to the drum if you have to make an emergency stop. Mine did, it’s what finally kicked me in the a** to make the repair to the seal... did both sides though only the driver was leaking.

The shop I used botched the drivers the first go but seems to be good after second attempt... been 2 years now, no leaks. This guy seemed to be familiar with the repair and mentioned using the “grease test” method @mtbtim refers to.

I also did the diff breather extension immediately after (myself) routing up behind the tail light with a new breather/jiggler
