Did some searching and really didn't see an answer to this so I figured I'd ask as I'm sure some have gone through this. Both hub seals are leaking and it's a 1978 K30 14 bolt full floater with a 10 1/2" ring gear. spindle hub DOES have some grooving. When I regeared it 10 years ago I moved the new seal some from where the other was to get a true surface. I guess it too has now wore one is as it's starting to fling oil again. I have not tore it apart yet but want to gather parts. Is it best to go with the new style 2 piece seals? SKF 28635 part number that I have been told? My main question is should I install a Speedi sleeve on the surface as well or is it not needed with these seals? Is it better to just go with Speedi sleeve and original style seal? Any part # for the speedi sleeve? I had 99282 but local store says their list says it's not correct. This is on a show truck that is driven quite a bit so I don't want any leaks. Thanks for any input.
