wheel bearing seals
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2019 11:16 am
Hi..
Just removed my van hubs as part of the pre tour prepping.
Have noticed grease coming from back of hub onto backing plate.
In the back of the hub there is a press in tin seal with W708 stamped on it. it has a felt seal that seals ( or suppose to seal0 grease coming from within the hub / bearings.
Have tried trailer spares and auto parts shops.. no one has heard of these seals.
I feel that i cant replace with the normal inner seal that you get with an early holden bearing kit .. as the tin seal fits totally within the hub ... unlike the rubber seals which have a rubber lip thaqt presses on the hub body when adjusted up..
Has anyone found a rubber seal that fits the hub and replaces the old pressed tin with felt seal ??
I have photos but for some reason the "attachments" option is missing from the lower tool bar / options
Cheers
