Larry,

It's my understanding that the front wheel seal should be proud also -- but
I never found a spec. for it in a manual. When we did one here recently I
made a seating tool to set 0.040", and arbitrary amount which seemed
adequate. Do you know the correct setting?

I THINK I'd already made a tool for the rear seals; I'll have to hunt it up
and make sure it's set to your 0.060". If not, I'll chuck the disc back in
the lathe and correct it. What I'm a little concerned about there, though,
is whether the seal will then clear Manny's reaction arm torque box. So
many possible "gotcha's"! Smile

Ken, I took that ".060 proud" off of the "set" tool that Dave makes. But still cannot remember what the setting is for the front seals. Betch-a Dave knows...
