Question:
I have installed new races and bearings on my trailer hub. I am now installing the grease seals and notice they are not tight to the inner bearing, but they are flush to the outside of the hub. Does this gap matter 1/8? Should I tap the seal so it sits flush with the bearing? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
My guess is you have the incorrect bearing kit. Kit # BK3-300 with Seal 10-36 # RG06-070 and Kit # BK3-310 with Seal # GS-2125DL have the same bearing numbers but the seals have different inner diameters.
Seal # GS-2125DL has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches and Seal 10-36 # RG06-070 has an inner diameter of 2.250 inches. A difference of exactly 1/8 of an inch.
If this is the case the solution is to get # GS-2125DL seals.
