[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 487159, member: 22613"] Seal thickness doesn't really matter as long as it isn't seated too deep and touching the bearings. In some cases it is better, because the seal will ride on an untouched area of the spindle that isn't worn. Bearing buddies are a good idea on paper, but I don't really think they work that well in the real world. I've never had one hold pressure for any length of time. I still use them, but pull them off occasionally and check the bearings like I would without them. [/QUOTE]
