You could try undoing the hub a touch while leaving the cv joint bolted into place and slide the hub and cv assembly out a little so the disk on the shaft allows you to just see behind it and check the shafts height in relation to the seal.
The coller under the bottom ball joint nut raises and lowers the hub carrier.
The lower ball joint has to be loosened and the taper popped to be adjusted.
As a rule you leave the collar as found from the factory. Most seals will leak from age.

Oh I remember wammers had a post where he machined a tool for the job mines probably not exactly to his specs but then again I couldn’t build planes I wish I could have had some of his knowledge at least that way I wouldn’t have to centre that joint again hopefully all be good when the wheels are back on and running

Just buy a wheel bearing and measure the diameters.
