This is the spindle before
installation. You can clearly see the corrosion, pitting, seal wear
groove and general ratty condition causing my leaks - even with brand
new seals in the hubs.
The first thing you must do
is clean up the seal surface and general area of the repair VERY well.
This is because the sleeve is a very tight fit, and any burrs or rust
buildup will not allow you to install is straight and square. I
used a knotted wire wheel, emery cloth, small very, fine file, and brake
cleaner to get mine spiffy. |
