Not sure which way this is supposed to be installed. The ones I removed are different so no help there. TIA, Kent
EDIT: I forgot to mention this is a 911 seal. Not 914. Attached image(s) |

While I'm at it I might as well show you my CSOB inner bearing race install tool. I see HF has a set that are aluminum but the comments re: the handle coming loose so often I decided against that. Also, decent sets run ~$125. I didn't have an impact socket large enough to drive it in place so I came up with this. I took the 2 old races and spot welded the thinner edges together. Next I turned about .040" off one end of the races so it would not become engaged with the hub then drove it in with a hammer. I just realized I didn't show a pic of it after I turned it. I'll add that later this afternoon.
You can see the turned side as it doesn't have the discoloration from the welds. And it does have 2 raised sealing rings. The beefier of the two is on top in this view. |
