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

Use a fly press.

try pressing the seal in not shocking it with the hammer!

Can't do that, too tight.

Then try a different make of seal.

Thanks. Ask around tomorrow.

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.

Lincs Lambretta sell a tool that they have developed especialy for this problem.
