[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 344940, member: 13358"] Thanks for pointing that out Doc. That was an eye opener. That would also explain the Oring...support for the rear seal. You wouldn't want the grease flowing out the rear seal instead of working back through the hub. I don't believe they would use an Oring just for paint masking. See the video. Rotating the hub around the feed hole in the axle pushes the old grease out evenly. When ordering a Dexter axle, they ask you if you want the stainless-steel sleeves. These are an option to improve the seal surface. I found that a new Dexter axle with new hubs was very cost effective for the trailer I was repairing. The axle was previously damaged from a bearing failure. It was quick-fixed and not a good job. Since it had to go anyway, the new hubs/bearings/seals made it all easy. [/QUOTE]
