Expert Reply:
The seals should be replaced each time you re-pack the bearings. When you take the hub or drum apart, toss the old seal and use a fresh one when you reassemble and pack with new grease.
It install the new seal, gently tap it in a hammer, evenly working around the seal.
We have a really good video on removing, disassembling, greasing and re-assembling a drum that will be very helpful. The seal install portion can be found at the 10:50 mark.
