pretty recently i had changed the rear wheel bearing on the passenger side due to finding diff oil on the back of my alloy wheel, after a week of no problems i have noticed it has leaked again, also i have been experiencing alot of brake judder from the rear not 100% sure why. but i have noticed after taking both rear drums off the car to bleed the brakes the drums will not sit on the rear hubs correctly, looks like the drum has shrunk or its as if i need to grind the inside of the drum out or the outside of the hub to get them to fit could someone please give me some info on what this maybe and if both problems could be related? thanks

Why have you removed the drums to bleed the brakes ? Judder can be for all sorts of reasons.... Contamination of the brakes shoes, ovaled drums, high spots on the drum itself where the shoes make contact, leading edge of the brake shoes too sharp( usually they are chamfered).
If your having issues reinstalling the drums this could be due to you not having wound the brake shoe adjuster off sufficiently or if the drums are heavily worn then a groove builds up on the edge. Can be removed with a grinder. Might be time for new drums and shoes.
If oil has made its way in to the inside of the drum then that would suggest either an incorrectly installed oil seal or possibly a worn component that's not allowing the seal to do its job

If in doubt ...... Flat out ??

When you change the rear bearing and oil seal it is not difficult to bend the half shaft. This usually happens when you grind through the bearing retainer and break it with a hammer and chisel. This happens if the half shaft is not supported under the retainer. It's very important to support the shaft properly to avoid this happening. This could explain why the drum isn't fitting propoperly .To check take the drum off and if you have one use a dial gauge on the flange to measure the run out. There shouldn't be any!
Worth checking anyway.
