8 3/4 gasket locations

When you installed the new seal, which way did you put it in, spring side should be inward toward the center.. Did you put some grease around the spring to help hold in place until you got it all together.

RTV may work for a bit, but at some point I bet you see gear lube in your brakes.

yep...installed spring side in...used oil on the rubber part so the axle would slip through without popping the spring off
