    When I removed the hub form the left front axle from my 58 cj5, the rear seal stayed on the axle. I can remove the rear bearing race and seal by hand. I mic'd the right hub and compared it to the left. The bore of the left is juuuuust slightly larger than the right. It is visually different than the right hub. Has anyone ran into this before? Does someone make the bearings and seals for this thing? Should I just get a new hub and bearings/seals and be done with it?

    Upon further inspection, I discovered the hub had been wallered out at some point and PO must have just replaced the bearing and seal. Guess I'll be buying a new hub.
