Exclamation 1992 Wheel Bearing repair kit?

Anyone know anything about these after market repair kits? The ford dealer put in one 2 years ago to fix a leak. Now its leaking again and I'm sitting here looking at it, and the wheel seal is on the inside and the wheel bearing is facing out. This doesn't make sense to me as the wheel bearing is the first thing that goes in, not the seal. Unless these repair kits work opposite?

The bearings for the 1992 is not like a hub on a new vehicle. You have a spindle, bearings, races that are put together with a dust cover on top.

If something is leaking may not be an issue since you do need to grease that up. Unless you mean are missing the dust cover in which I would suggest to get a new one since you need to keep that grease in there on the bearings.

Fairly simple to change out and last time I got rotors that had new races pressed in.

If you want to replace it get new parts, remove the dust cap, the cotter pin, the nut then start taking things apart and reinstall in the reverse order.

Though thinking maybe it is the seal on the rear of the rotor itself. That is easy to replace but may as well replace the bearings at least if you are gonna rip it apart.
