Well, turns out we're circulating a bunch of false information again!
Here's the link I found at Mr. erf's site:
http://gmcmotorhome.info/front.html#rebuilt
Even there, there's a discrepancy with what Dave says here:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/3221/Dave_Lenzi_s_seal_tool.pdf
My tool sets the seal proud of the knuckle, which everyone seems to agree
is WRONG. Hopefully, we didn't do any damage to the one we (LB & I)
installed recently, because the seal fitted into the knuckle pretty easily;
it's probable that the CV pushed it on into place without damaging it.
Then again, we replaced it because the one removed was badly damaged --
perhaps from being installed proud??? :-(
