Just as a matter of interest when these seals come off they tend to revert back to whatever shape they were manufactured in, if you flip them so in effect the inside is out and the outside is in they will try and flip back to standard. Have you tried doing that? Just as an experiment.

I did Ken. I had that as a possibility. You can see from the bottom that it started to curl as the two parts came apart but the rest I had to get a pick under to remove it from the groove due to excess crap all round it (which may have saved it in all honesty). If you flip it inside out as you suggest, it flips back round so the flat side is indeed against the hub in the groove.
Oddjob:
Ok. Argument settled.
juitz:
Unfortunately that means hub has to come back out then!
The hub did go in easily with flat side up, but I couldn't get it to go in the other way around, even with a generous amount of force with a soft mallet. Maybe more grease needed...
Oddjob:
Ohhhh and I'm back in the game ;D ;D ;D
