O-Rings don't like sealing on rotating surfaces such as hubs, but will tolerate sliding surfaces (as in a Piston Ring).
Perhaps a Speedi-Sleeve could be used to dress the surface to be suitable for a regular seal? Unfortunately, it might need to be removed and replaced each time the bearing is replaced, but how often do you expect that to be?
