There is a double lipped seal that you need to pull out and replace. normally they don't give much problems but age may have gotten to yours.

Cuidado!!

The seals are easy to change out but you need to be really careful not to ruin the new one when installing it. It's a tight fit so be sure that it goes in straight. :? (I wrecked 2 of them in a row before figuring it out so, unfortunately,...I know what I'm talking about )

Chuckycheese is right: better order two seals. Chances are you'll damage the new seal the first time.

I think Ron Ayers is great and I've done a lot of business with them but for such a cheap item, the shipping cost will eat you alive....I'd order it from my local dealer. It'll be more expensive but...so what
