If the operation is poor, I recommend replacing the seals rather than wasting time on it.

I have a feeling there are mysteries here, so let me check it out.

Just a little. There’s no particular problem, but we could use a bit more.

No particular issues, but with a flange it would improve workability.

Don’t apply a lot of grease to the axle shaft. We’re holding off due to parts compatibility.
