Why not use the Seals-it inner seal and keep the oil in the center where it's needed? You need to relocate the axle vent but there's no need for the oil to be in the axle tube. http://www.sealsit.com/axle-seals.html

Hi Tim,

I include the outer seal in the kit since this will suffice most consumers usage, but I have no issues at all with this option if requested.
I have spoken with the folks at Seals-it for input as to optimal shaft size (at seal location) for best overall longevity of the seal, so if requested I can accommodate folks that may want to go that route.

Also while talking with Seals-it, it was mentioned that not all housing tubes are a "out of the box fit" for their product and sometimes require different O-rings and or machining of the O-ring grooves to obtain their suggested fitment, and is another reason for my including the outer seals that are certain to fit everyone's application.

Your input is greatly appreciated and further exposes another great option that folks can explore.

Thanks, Jay
