You defo have the correct seal for the hub? As there's 2 sizes 27mm and 30mm (i think)?
Old style engine or new? As new have the seal internally fitted behind bearing opposite to older engines where they sit externally .

theres 2 sizes Jimbob, i.e. 2 differing I.D.s, to accomodate the differing hub centre sizes. Hopefully thats all it is.
