Also make sure you fit the 9mm seal or you will end up doing it again next week.
Jimny store for the 'correct' seals.

So to be clear, did you replace the axle tube oil seal when you replaced the King Pin bearings?

If not, they were always going to fail at some point and may have been damaged but it's taken a while for enough oil to show as a leak.

Don't mess about with vacuum pipes, you'll spend far too much time chasing the problem. Just buy freewheeling hubs from Jimny Bits.
