Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct match for the rear wheel-end application. Inspect the bearing, hub, and sealing surface for wear or damage before fitting the new seal. Proper seating and clean assembly surfaces help the seal perform as intended on the Saab 900.
