G'day,

Bruce is correct; at the GMCMI Convention in Elkhart I bought a tool from him for $40.00 which seats the seals at the proper depth.

Dave is a VERY busy man; you can contact him on eight 1 zero - 6 five 3 - three 9 zero 2 but keep that in mind and don't tie him up
with idle chit chat!

Regards,

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] Rear Wheel Seal

My understanding from Dave Lenzi with the rear seals, if you press them in flush with the hub the seal will be positioned too far
inward and will not seal on the axle. Do not press the seal all the way into the hub, leave it slightly proud of the hub and all is
good.

It is the front seals that can touch the bearing and get metal filings into the bearings.

Check with Dave Lenzi to be sure this is correct.
