Could it be that the problems with at least some of the
out-of-tolerance seals are really caused by incorrect installation?



I don't recall the brand but none of my seals passed the 1/4" test. So after seating the inner seals I probed with a flat blade screwdriver to check if they were in contact with the bearings. They weren't and so far no problems.
