Greetings,
I am just about ready to pack the rear bearings and reinstall the hubs on the spindles - But I am a bit confused, yah doesn't take much, about the rear grease seal seating criteria.
The Assembly Manual, page 512, states the grease seals should be seated to within .025/.045 high of flush - Though how in the heck that would be done is beyond me.
I searched all the years M/M's and did not find any information in regards to rear wheel bearing packing or grease seal seating - Or my eyes glazed over and I just missed it!
And from many years ago in HS shop, I remember that the grease seals were just tapped in till "flush" with the hub.
So.... I don't have any tiebreaker information - Therefore:
Looking for any thoughts/ideas as to why the A/M would say one thing and/or the M/M's say nothing.
Thanks for any insight you can/care to share,
Carl P.
