Bearing seal
Hi all, im servicing the bearing on my 59 tradewind and when i popped the bearing and seals off i noticed the seal body had a circular scuffing pattern on it. It appears that the inside edge of the bearing body was rubbing on the outside portion of the bearing seal. My question is if perhaps i packed the seal into the hub too tight? If that is the case what is the technique for packing the seal into the hub? My technique for the castle nut is to hand tightnen it with some channels locks, thenback it off until the cotter pin slides in. Thoughts? Why the wear pattern?
