Hi, I rebuilt the hubs. Major issue was getting the old oil seals out. Careful: I chiseled out all the rubber and it seemed like the steel seat was left but new seal would not go in Turns out the seals have a steel rim (L shape cross section) which was still left in the housing. Got it out with an aluminum chisel and it all fits fine.
