Is this a solid 60 front axle or a TTB 50 axle? Reason I ask is if it's a TTB axle, replace the center beam pivot bushing while you have it apart.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I suspect the green is the paint off of the seal. A lot I have done over the years were painted green.The silicone like substance, not sure, may just be that, reason good question.
Yes, inner tube seal directly against the bearing cap. Are you leaking now?
Be sure to try flipping the washer. ...the holes are offset 1/2 of a hole from one side to the other.
I tend to always swap my front 60 axles to 14 Bolt Chevy wheel bearing nuts.
When you get your tie rods all changed out you can just set the toe at about 1/8, and go for a drive. 99% of the time that is about exactly where the toe needs to be.
