I finally replaced my leaky axle flange seal this weekend.

Mike, I took your advice and used Hylomar.  I was not at all prepared for
how fast that stuff sets up!

With Ultra Black you have a a little time to wiggle the seal in, but I found
that the Hylomar was very sticky and tacky and made the seal VERY resistant
to going in.  I'm hoping that it seals things up better than the Black,
though (no leaks so far.)

Thanks for the tip.
