Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the axle and hub style before installation, especially on Chevrolet C3500 and GMC C3500 models with old-style 15,000 GVWR configurations. On Chevrolet P30 and GMC P3500 applications, verify the front inner position and wheel bearing race/I-beam axle notes before ordering. Inspect the spindle, hub bore, and bearing surfaces for wear or damage before pressing in the seal.
