John, Find a felt supplier and buy some high grade white felt (the correct thickness) then cut a couple of strips. If you can buy the right thickness, install it so that the factory surfaces are the working surfaces.
There is a steel spring that puts tension on the seal. Buy the correct grease for the hubs. Some greases are prone to the oil separating. You want one that doesn't do that. I cant remember the name of the stuff.
Your king pins are supposed to have a 0.005" (5 thou) preload on them.
If you wait a bit, I'm sure Bruce P. or Bob C. will chime in with the real info.
