rear hub snag

<< < (2/3) > >>

K2-K6:
O-ring form into a square rebate should leave space for those two curved edges to spread into the groove corners, and allowing the flat outside face to move away from the other component.

It does seem logical to me Ken as you've stated it, curved in groove, flat out. Use plenty of silicone grease to slide it into place, said the customs officer to the Bishop  ;D

Obviously, the flat side in the groove and it can't expand in there, leaving the outer now less compressible.

Oddjob:
Got to say Nigel I didn't consider the compression the ring would be under and the ability for a round profile to deform into a square profile, yeah that makes perfect sense.

Try flat side up Mick and I would confer on using either silicon oil or silicon grease to ease it on.

mickwinf:
even more confused as there is no groove, will take pics tomorrow

Oddjob:
Groove is on the hub Mick, on the protrusion where the carrier fits.

mickwinf:
OK I am officially an idiot! I did not see that the groove was in a raised rim so had the seal on the top! For future reference for other members I took a pic. Now as to the orientation of the seal, I think flat side into the groove, as the seal is about 3mm thick if it is turned inside out so to speak it would distort and be ineffective. If honda wanted flat side out surely they would have it manufactured that way? Now fitted round side out and still needs a firm squeeze to get it in. Now realised my spoke kit has the wrong size nipples so stuck again
