Bearings will be fine but as Damien said seals are cheap so may as well replace after repacking the bearings- 112k, its barely run in.

Thanks boys saved me a few dollars, new seals it will be.

So where does the little seal go?

Back of the hub, after the bearing

Just here ?

Can't do the 5 bolts up with this sitting over the axle. A bit puzzled about this.

Nope in the back side of the hub

i would call that the front of the hub....i.e. where you fit the wheel onto

to remove the bearings and re-pack them you would have to have removed the hub seal which is on the back side of the hub i.e. diff side of the hub

it looks llike you are hold up a lock washer? up against the outer bearing nut?

:eek:

Sorry not the best photo. This is for the rear bearings in case I am holding the little oil seal up against the the hole the axle goes in. The problem is the seal is just big enough to go over the axle but not go into the same hole but not Big enough to go over the thread against the nut. I see this as the front of the hub but can't get it to the back as it isn't going to go over the tread.
Does anyone have an exploded view of the hub? Cheers Matt
