Thanks. The problem is that there is a LOT of play in the axle going into the axle shaft. When I grab hold of the spindle shaft (bear with my part descriptions), it moves sloppily left, right, up and down. A new seal will not prevent that much movement. It seems like something broke or became lose.
Any ideas on how to determine that?
Thanks,
