That technique is used with the neoprene seal, not with the rope type. My guess is that it mushed into the bearing area and caused a lot of friction. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
