Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the spindle, hub bore, and sealing surface before installation. Clean away old grease, corrosion, and debris so the new seal seats evenly. Verify the application position before installation; this part is used in front outer, front inner, and front positions depending on vehicle and axle configuration. Timken 710477 should be installed with care to avoid distorting the seal lip or outer case.
