I recall the same (above).

You never answered in the other thread: do you have ABS? The reason I ask is that you need to make sure the inner most retainer ring is EXACTLY in the right spot, otherwise you will get axle oil running past the seal. There is only 2mm of leeway for that ring. I found out the hard way.
