Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm proper wheel end fitment. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring, and replace damaged components as needed so the new seal can seat correctly. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion.
