I've been having trouble with my otherwise perfect working back brake due to oil ingress from the gear box. I've replaced the final drive oil seal 3 times (Rolf seals seated properly) which lasts a few miles until the oil comes through onto the shoes. The bearing is Casa Lambretta with no play. The problem started after I broke my Cyclone 5 speed for the first time. The casing was thoroughly cleaned but the bearing was never replaced. I guess the shrapnel has lunched the bearing/layshaft combo and this is the problem. Everything feels right and tight but I presume the filings have damaged the bearing.
I don't even know why I'm asking I've got to change them.

Make sure you thoroughly clean the hub and casing with brake cleaner ... New pads too?
