• Service issues during wheel seal replacement on compatible axle assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the hub, axle, and sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or debris, and clean the bore thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly. Use proper seal installation tools to avoid distorting the nitrile lip or damaging the housing during press-in.
