Well, Phil, I followed your recommended approach and the seal is now out - not without a struggle though! New seal and existing bearing now installed and hub back on car. Weather permitting, I'll finish the job tomorrow and then see what's what.

Re: Rear Hub Nut Spanner
Finally, just to round this thread off, with everything back together I went for a trial run today and, on my return, removed the wheel and brake drum again to carry out a pitch inspection. No signs of any diff oil seepage, I'm delighted (and relieved) to say, although I was obviously a bit too enthusiastic with the application of the grease between the paper gasket and the half-shaft flange as some of it had squeezed out and ended up on the drum. Easy job to clean up and de-grease though so, and despite the recommendation of the Moggie specialist whose work I was having to re-do, there appears to be no need for a replacement hub. Many thanks to all who have taken the trouble to offer advice with the job, especially you Phil, your patient and detailed explanations are greatly valued.
