Be sure and hand pack the wheel bearing with grease as the seal
should tell you they do not share the differential gear lube.

Thanks for the advice. I wish I could go to a one piece axle right
now, but I just spent $1,500 on a new boat motor and I don't think I
could get away with putting $300 more into my jeep. Next time I take
it apart I will go with a one piece but for now I am trying to stop
the leak to prevent damage to rear differential.

What can I do to prevent spin out now that I have disassembled the
hub? Can I put lock tight on it? Can I tack it (with a weld)? Again, a
permanent solution is ok, because next time I take apart I go one
piece. Any other advice? So far I have no gasket sealant and hand pack
the bearings with grease. Thanks Again!

You might try a big impact on, it'll beat it on a lot tighter than
the 250 pounds, required torque:

drill a new carter key way.
