leaking axle seal repair

[cattlerepairman]

Does the silicone work or should i gasket the key way? I'm doing mine this weekend, and don't want a leaker

Oil resistant RTV works just fine.

Correction on the OTC # & link
OTC1907 Bearing Locknut Socket 3", 8 Point

DO NOT BUY THIS SOCKET FROM S&J DISCOUNT TOOLS.
I followed the link, bought a socket and got ripped off. The company seems legit but after 8 days with no shipping info and no product I tried to call. Guess what? NO PHONE NUMBER!!!! They only receive e-mail and won't call back. Now I have to deal with the bank to remedy the situation.

If a moderator reads this, please delete this link so nobody else gets ripped off. Thanks
