The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 41 1.5 ton front wheel seals

I have a 56 and went through this as well. The 56 also had an inner wheel bearing where the inner race was where the old felt seal rode. I ended up replacing the inner bearings with bearings that did not have an extended inner race to take up the space I had a spacer made that had to be heated and pressed onto the spindle. The OD of the spacer was made to fit the ID of the seal we chose then I had the ID of the hub turned to match the OD of the chosen seal. I had tried like hell but could not find a seal that would fit without modification. In the end I killed two birds with one stone and ended up with better inner bearings the are not made of unobtainium.There are pictures showing the whole process on my photo bucket account if you can get the links to work I am having trouble sharing from my album's.There is also more on it in (working on the bulldog again).
