Removal/Installation Procedure
Previous Step | Step 9 | Next Step

9. Before you can install the hub/rotor assembly you have to install the inner wheel bearing and seal (I think it’s called the inner wheel bearing seal) listed above, part #012035. If you get the same hub/rotor assembly as I did you’ll notice that both the inner and outer bearing races are already installed. So you will end up with four extra bearing races. Be sure and grease the bearings good before you install them. The inner wheel bearing seal is a bit of a pain to install. I covered the seal (metal and rubber) with a grease rag and lightly hit it with a hammer and a 6” socket extension until it was tightly seated.
