just installed new turbo lube hubs and bearings and filled with 85w gear oil as it says, but i now have water in the hubs and oil all over the backside of my new wheels.<br /><br />did i not tighten them onto the axles enough?<br />the seals are brand new, came already pressed into the hubs, i just "slid" the hubs on the axle, installed the front bearing, washer nut and pin, installed the clear cover and filled with oil.....<br /><br />this was my first hub replacement<br /><br />what could i have missed?<br /><br />m ike

Sounds like the Seals are Leaking......<br />Did you Clean,+ Inspect the shoulder on the axle that the seals ride on.......<br />If it's Not Perfectly Smooth,<br />It 's Going to Leak........................
