Expert Reply:
When installing the double-lip grease seals like # BB60001 that are needed when using Bearing Buddy bearing protectors like # BB1980A-SS you want to install the rear grease seals as gently as you can, to avoid any deformation of their shape, and only until they are flush with the rear hub bore.
