Question:
I think i screwed up when putting in the rear or inner grease seal from the BK kit i purchased. Does the seal just sit flush with the outer hub lip ??? When i set it it went deeper into the hub. Will i need to order a new one ? I would probably damage the seal trying to back it out

Helpful Expert Reply:
Ideally, you want the grease seal flush with the inside lip of the hub but as long as the seal itself is riding on the proper spot on the spindle. If the seal has been pushed in too far to ride along the proper shoulder on the spindle, we offer the replacement seals in a 2 pack as part # RG06-020.
