Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width against the original seal before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring, and replace any damaged components before pressing in the new seal. Confirm rear outer position and vehicle configuration, including the note for models without dual rear wheels, before ordering. Part number SS3005 should be matched to the exact application listed for Nissan 720 fitment.
