What Order do the Parts Get Installed for Spindle Grease Seal Set # BB60001 for Bearing Buddies
Published 10/18/2012
Question:
So, I’m confused. On the printed material supplied with the part and on your advertisement for the part, both show the O-ring identified as #2 being placed between stainless steel seal ring identified as #1 and the double-lip grease seal neoprene seal identified as #3...as in 1 then 2 then 3. However, in your video, you show the neoprene O-ring identified as #2 being installed behind the double-lip neoprene grease seal identified as #3... as in 1 then 3 then 2. Which is the true statement?

The video is correct. The diagram is more for identifying the parts and their basic placement. The o-ring actually is supposed to ride on the spindle but can actually fit through that stainless steel ring when not on the spindle. So basically, you will slide on the stainless steel ring first then slip the o-ring on.
The grease seal will install in the back of the hub just like you would normally do with a seal. You would then install the hub. So the diagram is basically an exploded view of the parts and not a hard and fast installation method.
