Subject:      New Front Inner Wheel Bearing Seal Won't Seat.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

I just installed new bearing races on my new rotors. A most excellent vision. All shiny and new. But....

For some reason, the grease seal for the inner bearing, won't stay in. Either tapping it in with a block of wood or pushing in by hand, it might seat partway, but promptly pops back out. Or part of it sinks too far in and it stays in cockeyed.

There may have been too much grease on the outside face of inner bearing, so I cleared that away. That made no difference.

Any tips on how to install it?

Maybe I was sold the wrong seal......

Thanks!

Neil.
