It started out simple enough, replace my rear hub seals which were leaking. Turns out the rear diff lube was more of a primordial soup trying to create life rather than lubricating anything. Wheel bearings were shot and I assumed, correctly, the ring and pinion bearings would be no better. So I pulled the rear end and to my surprise I found this ...

To prevent this nightmare before Christmas from effecting my life again I decided to do something about the sealing surface on the hubs. I ignored this in the past but assumed, incorrectly, that the seal could handle it. Enter my hero "Speedy Sleeves" able to make junk usable again!
