I realize this is a couple of years too late, but discoloration where the bearing sits on a shaft is an indication of non-contact in that area. Where there is good contact, the metal will be shiny. Still looked like there was plenty of contact though.

I have seen tapered roller bearings that were preloaded with springs, such as in a Blanchard grinder spindle. However, that's not the case here. The spring pushes the bearings apart, the opposite of preload. The purpose is still a mystery.

I've used more Stemco seals than anything else. I like the Grit Guard seals because you don't need a nice surface on the spindle for them to seal. It's basically a speedi sleeve. But I don't have a strong opinion on it. I don't like the 2 piece seals though because it just adds two more places to leak.

the seal probably leaked because they probably tried to re use the seal after doing the brakes, normally if you have a spacer between the bearings its the spacer that sets your end play so you just tighten the nut down tight if the end play isn't correct you would add or remove shims or use a different size spacer. iv never seen that set up on large trucks but iv done a few in other applications. i actually prefer the 2 peice seals,

The needle rollers in the bearings are hollow spring steel tubes which are squishy, the bearing system is designed to be compliant and the Belleville washer is designed in to allow self realignment of the bearings during sudden dynamic or thermal overloads that would damage a traditional rigid bearing . 😘
