Sorry Richard, but this is incomplete advice. He should replace both the
bearing and the seal. Usually if the seal is bad the bearing is too. When
the bearing is bad, the weight of the car puts excessive pressure on one
side of the seal. Some times the metal part of the seal just outside the
rubber area will even go out of round because the axle is no longer centered
in the seal. This is why it leaks. You don't get a good seal when the axle
is not centered in the hole. If he just replaces the seal, it will probably
just get wiped out again. This is a cheap and easy job to do, and there's no
reason to do it half way.

Unless the axle shaft is boogered up, no need to replace it.
Just replace the seal.
