Default Outer axle seal for prorock60?
Has anyone with a prorock60 installed outer axle seals? My pass side inner seal is leaking and its about a 6hr job to replace the inners. Not something I really wanna be doing once a year.

Thanks

Fix the inner seal. You don't want to drive around with bad seal.

I'm still fixing the inner seal but am asking if anyone with d60 uses outer seals as well. The hubs aren't locked so it's not doing any damage.

Outer seals are snake oil. More harm than good. Fix the inner and call it good.

They don't actually keep everything out, they do a good job of keeping stuff in that should come out (water will still get in and then won't evaporate or leak back out). Gets fine grime trapped in moving parts, etc.
