Any other suggestions on how to SUCCESSFULLY fit the oilseal to the rear wheel bearing with bearing in place..........
After removing the old seal I warm and grease the lip of the new seal and bearing surface and using a large socket tap the seal in gently. I use Rolf seals but always end up with the seal not going in straight, spring from back jumping off or inner lip turning inside out.........
Anyone with a better/simpler suggestion......................pretty please
Rear Wheel Oil Seal????
Use a fly press.
Then try a different make of seal.rog60 wrote:Can't do that, too tight.joespeed wrote:try pressing the seal in not shocking it with the hammer!

get a peice of plastic, the type used on vacuum packaging, just long enough to go round axle, hold it in a cylinder and push through seal, oil the seal and plastic. put plastic tube over axle and slide seal into place, press home, remove plastic and hey presto, job done.
