Positioning of rear oil seal
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 1:21 pm
I have finished putting in all new bearings,seals etc but i have a query with the positioning of the oil seal on the disc side on the rear wheel.
Does the seal sit flush onto the bearing or does it sit flush with the edge of the inner hub.
If it sits flush with the edge of the hub there will be a gap behind the seal and the bearing of approx 9mm, which i could pack out with grease,but am not to keen on this idea.
Non of the manuals make it clear and all the bits are there, it just seems odd that all the other bearings sit flush onto the bearings and they are all flush with the edges of the hubs as well.
Am i just being paranoid !
