Rear bearing advice
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It was 18 months ago but iirc they sit against the inner race unless they are bent out if shape, I certainly don't think the seal was an issue.
Update
Iirc on the drive gear side a separate spacer sits against the bearing so no issue on that side. Is the spacer slightly different at each end like the 400 with different prong ends?
mickwinf:
Indeed i have a spare d ring as I lost mine and bought another from Oddjob, then found the original!
Bryanj:
The legs do not fit in the bearing but simplyhold the spacer squareish in the hub.
Leave the bearing seals in and fit as supplied, they are lubed for life
DomP:
That's what I wondered Bryan, a previous owner must have had them changed and removed the inner covers because the outers were still fitted.
Bryanj:
No mate, originals had no inner seals, saved a couple of yen per bearing and with millions fitted it adds up, same reason for jis screws
