RGB leaking

[Birdmanhere]

One of my big nuts has started to leak...
It seems to be coming out the stub axle and then on to my rim.
Do I just need to get bearings and seals or what else should i look for when fixing this.
Also it seems to have a tiny leak out the back where the axle tube comes in too.
Who has the best parts for this and how involved is this task?

this has been talked about over and over. may i suggest you go the search button, type in:

rgb AND leaking

into the search feature, and read some of the 18 threads that come up (some even have the same title of this one.)

it sounds to me that at the minimum you need to replace all the seals and gaskets in the bearing cover and backing plate.

"One of my big nuts has started to leak..." You had better see a doctor.
The small O-ring that slides on the stub axle against the roller bearing, with the thick spacer jammed against it, keeps oil from coming out on the stub axle. That is easily replaced; leave out the large O-ring that comes with the seal kit. Also, check to make sure that the axle nut was fully torqued down so the spacer was pressing against the O-ring.
There is a small hole in the brake plate below the axle tube where any oil that gets past the bearing seal will trickle out. Is that where the oil comes out? If so, you can replace the old seal with the new one that comes in your kit.
The RGB probably doesn't need new bearings but you can check the roller bearing for play while you are at it.
