Can you not reuse the plates. This seal really only keeps the crap out as there should only be grease in it. If you have oil then I would assume the shaft seal has failed. As far as I know these parts are suzuki only unless you buy a kit from abroad.

Is this any help?

But as Darrel said, if you have oil comming out you may need to replace the shaft seal. I bought a full rebuild kit from America, but i wouldn't recomend it as it cost a absolute fortune

I always assumed the hub aught to have oil in so when i did overhaul it I filled it with landrover one shot hub seal grease, If id have read the manual I'd have realized it only needed grease! grrrrr

I bought a full axle rebuild kit off eBay from Australia cost about £80. It included felts seals and the steel plates as well as king pin bearings. The axle was in a state tho, and needed everything changing, definately worth the effort tho as now they are clean and dry. Also worth remembering that the felts and seals act as a steering damper and if worn can cause issues with stability at speed.
