Good call. Took off banjo and completely blocked. Took out short shaft and no rust. The inside of the axle tube on the breather side has a lot of rust on it. Also had to order 2 new stub axles because of scoring and pitting. Turning out a bit expensive this oil seal.Just guessing here, but as the breathers are approx hald way along the side of the axle with the longer 1/2 shaft. maybe the rust is simply the damp air getting in via the breather banjo?
