Question:
Seal# 10-63 unitized for Hayes 8K. Can you supply information on installation. Specifically how deep to press into the hub, or clearance from bearing. I have tie down engineering hubs.
asked by: Bruce
Expert Reply:
The item you selected, while having the right measurements, is not a unitized oil seal. We do carry the 10-63 unitized oil seal (see link).
Installing the seal requires pressing the seal flush or slightly into the hub. I normally use a wooden block to seat the seal flush with the back side of the hub.
We have an install video for you to watch that shows installation of a grease seal. Normally flush installation is correct unless Tie Down Engineering specifies differently.
