Stupid idea.

like they said check the spacer and o ring,if all well replace the seal,grease the seal lips before putting in.if you have any play in the bearing or it feals rough and gritty then you will need a new bearing,and i suspect thats a complete engine strip to get at it

Pray it isnt the bearing. Its a complete engine strip yes. Doubt it is the bearing though.

I will pop to my body shop today and collect some tools and ill strip it back out and have another look.

I'll update later on

Remember when fitting a new seal that the area its sits in is as clean as.
