Front driveshaft/half shaft

Hi All,
In the middle of replacing the front drivers side wheel bearing. The seal on the drive shaft where it pushes into the hub is perished. Does anyone have the part number?

Think I've got it: LR002607 CV Shaft Dust Seal Thumbs Up

Well that's an absolutely crap design for an off road vehicle that might go wading.

1st the seal on the end of the drive shaft where it fits into the hub to seal the bearing is only an interference fit so when wading or any large volume of water such as big puddles the water will get past the seal and eventually into the wheel bearing.

2nd as the end of the drive shaft is machined steel it just corrodes away so when replacing the CV dust seal the corrosion just falls away and there's nothing left to fit the seal too. Only solution, new drive shaft. Unless I can bond it in place some how. Sad

To be fair it didn't come up too bad once I had the needle gun on it. The seals not a snap fit which I guess it would have been but a smear of gasket silicon will help hopefully.
