I hope the tire store had the correct grease seal for the rear hub. We
have run into some incorrect seals, the steel outer ring of the seal has the
wrong dimensions and when installed, will contact the bearing rollers and
the rollers will grind on the steel outer shell and you will have boo-coo
filings in the rollers and grease. Dave Lenzi and I both encountered this
problem, and found it before we installed the hubs back onto the spindle. The
seals will have the same number, but the shell dimension is not correct.
Also check the seal surface and see if it contacts the sealing surface of the
spindle. Some seals do not.
There is almost the same identical problem with the seals for the front
wheel bearings. Same seal number, but different seal dimensions. The wrong
seals will have a rolled edge on the seal body and they will also contact the
bearing and filings from the seal shell will contaminate the bearing &
grease. The bearing will self-destruct, in a short time.
