marki Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I've heard that the felt seal supplied with Wheel Bearings are not the correct thickness, just had some delivered from James Paddock and they appear to be correct. Just to let people know if they need some, just wondering how come they can supply the correct ones and other well known suppliers can't........ Mark Suppose this should have gone in technical.

marki Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Roger. I thought this was a simple job, but after reading that post I'm dreading it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Mark, wheel bearings are easy. Take everything step by step. Keep everything clean. If you have what appears to be the correct felt thickness on the seal it should fit with no problem. Have a look at the used one coming off - the new felt should be a gnats thicker.
