Replacing rear drum brakes on an 89 V3500 dually which failed early due to gear oil plus brake fluid soaked shoes. Also replacing leaking wheel cylinders. I've read about these "improved" two part seals that can work better than the fixed seals. Any advice on whether the two part seal is worth it? This is the second rear gear oil issue in a short time so also looking for advice on what to look for on the spindle where the seal rides or if maybe the hub is wobbling/too much runout? Want to avoid soaking/ruining another set of shoes. If it matters, this truck is being used for work and hauling that involves periodic off-road use with loads plus mountain/canyon driving on-road.
