Wheel seals again

[SAndreasen]

Did a speedi sleeve on the right side . Cleaned up the left side it actually had a ridge where the seal rode cleaned that up and an outline of a groove appeared I used emery cloth then 400 grit sandpaper couldn’t ketch my fingernail In the groove . Ran the truck for a few days and both wheel seals are leaking again . Not sure what to do any different.

Any possibility the seals are installed backwards, non flange type? Don't take this wrong but sometimes we screw up

Did you check your axle vent?

Mine looks like the second one . I put the lip towards the bearing because that’s where the oil should be coming from correct

The axle vent was plugged tight
