hub leak rim
I had taken my f150 94 4x4 5.0 auto trans
I had get my both front rotors changed at shop
week ago I seen grease on 1 of my outside rim
took it back they just tighten the screws on cap where you lock or free 4x4
now other day grease back on rim
it looks like the used a screwdriver bent hub where hub stick out not on cap
grease was black I could run my finger around hub . with tire on
they wont it
will I have replace hub ? or can I get by with new seal ?
I guess where they used screwdriver they bent hub up a little
not big . cap ok.

The o-ring on the hub is probably shot. It seals the OD of the lockout to the ID of the steel hub. Mine were leaking. I pulled my lockouts (5 allen bolts), cleaned them up, ran a thin bead of silicone around the circumference (between the small lip & the o-ring groove), let it dry overnight, and reinstalled the lockouts in the morning. I had the silicone in the tool box so this cost me just some time, and hasn't leaked any grease since. It sounds like tracking down the correct o-ring isn't a fun time, and so this was a no-brainer.
As for the bent hub, pictures would be helpful. Probably not a big deal as far as driveability, but man that's got to be frustrating to have a shop butcher work that you pay for. Not sure I'd let that go...
