[BFix] 31 spline axles

[ts]

On the recent Horde Invasion of Death Valley a 9" wheel bearing went Tango Uniform in Big Pine, CA. The bearing found in Bishop, CA's Carquest was a sealed unit with a seal in a groove in the outer race. NOT just an O-Ring, but a real seal. Would be worth looking into this bearing. 
That is all that I know about the part.

think there is a solution by putting some sort of sealant behind the 
bearing.  I have not done that yet.  If anyone knows what this sealant is 
let me know.
