Re: Front Wheel Bearing seals

Cli55er had to use a thicker than original seal on his 55 Clipper. Since seal presses in and is flush with the wheel hub in back, should be no problem with backing plate. Just has to clear the bearing & race. He reported there was enough room between the seal front and his bearing and if yours is same, then should be no problem with the depth. Will the slight difference in shaft & bore size be too tight on the shaft or loose enough in bore to be an issue? Cli55er reported his replacement was just a slight bit tighter on the shaft but if enough lube is able to get under lip so it doesn't dry, wouldn't think that would be a problem.
