    I bought mine from steer & gear, but there are a couple other places that sell it. The seal really doesn't do a good job of keeping the dust out of the grease and the grease is too thick to come out when turning, so you could probably leave it like it is....however, it isnt that hard of a job so I would just replace it.

    If you don't replace that seal and cover, dirt and water will mx with your grease.

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
