Is this the hub seal or FWH seal?

Does the FWH have a different seal set up from normal and how do
I get into the damn thing? This is a front wheel (obviously) and
there is some sign of weep at the swivel seal. I'd rather not
attempt to undo the swivel ball bolts just yet so I'm hoping
that one shot grease can slow up the swivel weep. :-? Maybe
this is a fool's errand?
As always, advice greatly appreciated.

TO get to there, can normally only be the hub seal RTC 3510 (or
RTC 3511 for the rationalised axles)

Cheers Jim. I'm trying to remember from when I did the front
seals on the 88" but if I'm right, I need to take the drive
flange off to get the hub nut off so hat means I need to get the
FWH off. Anyone know how I do that? I've ad the wee screw off
the side but I couldn't see any plastic thing inside I read
about. ??? ???

Did mine recently.
You need to dig around in the screw hole carefully with a small
screwdriver for what looks like a crushed plastic washer. That's
the loop on the end of the plastic strip. Then, with the
screwdriver through the loop, gently pull the plastic strip out
all the way. The FWH will then come to pieces in your hand.
From this forum, a very useful guide:

Forgot to say, push against the hub as you're pulling out the
plastic strip. Makes it easier/possible.
