Inner seal for green bearings

fredsmedina said
ive read alot. and according to many people, they arent completely necessary..but its just added insurance that your gear oil wont end up leaking all the way out..with the inner seal installed there is no way for the gear oil to get to your brakes/tires..

also, although the greens are sealed bearings, theres still a chance that the thinner gear oil could make its way into the bearings and contaminate them..

somebody correct me if im wrong..but i believe i should still install them as added insurance..ive just done alot of reading on this, and that seems to be the thing to do

That's the reason I run them. True they aren't technically necessary, it's just some insurance against the center section oil getting to the ends.

No sweat on the help. Had a slow moment working so it was something to fill time. LOL...
I measured an axle and verified the ID of the seal. Those part numbers should be right for the national seal from a cross reference. The OD appears correct as well.

If you have an axle out, take it with you and see if it slides on and looks to seal correctly.
