Changed out my leaking seal yesterday. What I noticed after installing the new seal is that the original leaking seal was not pressed in as deep as the new seal. So, I wonder if my original leaking seal had just backed out slightly causing it to leak? I didn't think to look or check this until I noticed the new seal inserted deeper than the original was sitting before I pulled it out.
Its probably a good idea that I changed it out anyhow, but if you're ever caught out with out a seal and WAY out in the boon-docks, you might want to DOUBLE CHECK that the seal is pressed in as deep as it "should be". After the rear wheel is off you can check it with a screw driver (in an emergency). Might just stop [your] leaking and get you to town or a shop.
The difference in distance that I was looking at from the original when I started VS after I pressed in the new one is approximately 3/32" difference.
Just a thought !
