Replaced the brake drum inter grease seal for the second time in 24K miles. The original seals had a single lip and the new replacement seals have a double lip to prevent grease from leaking out and damaging the brake linings. The new seal part #568862, the old #568208 for the T70 7000 lb axle brake assembly. Al-KO has a two year warranty on their axle assemblies, sent 4 new seals free, but wouldn't cover the cost for brake shoes @ $35 per wheel.
