More - G brakes and axle seals

Shoot! After some more running I see that the new left rear axle seal is leaking a little. There was a bit of wear on the axle where the old seal had run. But there's plenty of room to slide the new-type seal further in and for sure run it where the axle is full diameter. Guess I'll have to pull the axle and bearing quill with seal again, do some careful measuring and move the seal. With no parts to clean up this time and having experience at it, maybe it won't take too long. I don't expect there's any chance it will "wear in" and quit leaking, do you?
 
I stand corrected. I just discovered I've been trying to use the wrong seal, 11800 and it's for a 1.188 shaft. The shaft is actually 1.25 so it needs the 12456 seal. I just took a poster's word for the correct number. I guess he was having a bad memory day. I should have checked it out. Shame on me! Hope I didn't cause you a bunch of trouble.
