Just finished mine and wouldn’t have been able to do it without this video. Thank you

I sincerely hope you installed the outer seal in to the housing first and did not follow their video exactly. Their procedure is incorrect and will lead to premature outer seal failure.

Great explanation!

It is incorrect. Inadvisable to follow this procedure.

My job for tomoz.😂

On the reinstall, it's usually easier to install the spindle into the fully assembled new bearing cartridge (that has been pressed into the hub, and braced against the rear bearing surface). Is there a specific reason you did this piece by piece at the end?

The reason we press the bearing first on the spindle (at the 8m30.mark) is that you don't want to press down the bearing by crushing it against the race. Pressing the spindle on the assembled bearing will apply all the force on the outer part of the bearing by forcing it against the race. It can easily damage the bearing.

@@FrogRacing the chances of deforming the thin metal lip of the inner race is much greater than causing damage by pressing the bearing cartridge in, fully assembled. Neither is very risky, but the latter method is the by-the-book correct method (and frankly, much easier). The outer seal should also be installed first, before pressing the spindle in. This ensures the rubber on the seal ID is pulled inward toward the bearing. If you install the bearing to the spindle separately, you are unable to install this seal properly.

@@FrogRacing Steve is correct. The outer seal should be installed in to the knuckle, ensuring it's properly seated and that the lip does not ride on the inside face of the hub and the hub's chamfer. Also, the hub should absolutely be driven in to the assembled bearing. IT WILL NOT DAMAGE THE BEARING. I've installed numerous hubs in to new bearings using presses and even on car draw bar setups. The draw bar setups never take much rotational torque to drive in the hub, and the axle nut installation puts substantially more load on the bearing than installation does. Just did a set last week. I highly suggest you re-asses your installation procedure, for your, and your customer's sake. Also, clean those parts. Speaking from over a decade of professional experience.
