Rear Wheel Bearing 7.25"

Okay I just got my rear wheel bearings and hoping to install them but I ordered these.

Is the smaller ring my grease seal or do I need a separate grease seal? Looking at it the inside diameter is the same as the inside of the bearing.

Anyone?

Unsure. Go to your local parts store and get your grease seals there or atleast compare them to what you have. They should all have them.

I know on my 8 3/4 there are grease seals that press into the axle housing and then there are dust seals that go in front of the Axle bearing to keep dirt and water from getting into the bearing from the wheel side. My grease seals have a metal case with the rubber seal inside it, they do not look like the seal you have pictured so it may be the dust seal.

The smaller one is the grease seal and it goes in before the bearing.
The dust cover goes on after the bearing goes in, so it need to be on the axle before the bearing gets pressed on.

The dust seal is in the bearing retainer.

Hope this helps.

Thank you TrailBeast that was what I needed.

As a side joke my friend was standing over my should and pontificated on your rear end. He said "Everyones rear end works about the same but some are better to look at then others." lol
