I am replacing the bearings on a trailer I bought. This is my second time doing it because the first time caused grease to go all over the inside tire rim and wheel well. So, I decided to investigate.
When I took it all apart and cleaned it, I dry fit JUST the grease seal on the spindle. The grease seal is a double lipped one with the spring and is in mint condition. HOWEVER, when dry fitting I noticed there is a gap between the seal and spindle.
Is that how it is supposed to be, or should the grease seal be SNUG to the spindle?? The gap is about 1/16 of an inch. Do I just have the wrong size grease seal? The bearings and whatnot in the kit I bought all fit just fine.
Please god someone help. I called 3 tractor supply places and no one has a clue what I am talking about...
So much thanks in advance...
