Hi
Pretty sure the seal is part of the bearing, and they ain't straight forward to change.

Hi there
I have same problem to fix on my escort axle. The seal and bearing is not exactly a DIY job being heat-fitted onto the shaft end.
Can be done but sounds a really medieval task to accomplish at home (hot oil, bbqs, hammers..) - search on past threads as there is a fair amount of
excellent advice on this.
Not an easy task!

Hi, it's been covered before, it's a simple enough job really, we used an angle grinder with cutting disc to get the old one off. and a
home made press to put the new one on.
Like I say it's been covered before, here's the original thread, hope it helps.
