I've searched to no avail, what do you use to install the front wheel bearing seals with? How do you keep from damaging them? I'm working on my '53 3100.

In most cases once you line it up, tapping it lightly with wood block/hammer handle ect., will work. Main thing is getting it started and then working your way around the seal until it seats. I've used the old seal to hammer on, or find something in your shop thats about the same size as the seal. I suspect some of the aftermarket parts might not fit as good as the made in USA parts did. Hope that helps.
